GooTool 1.0.1 releaseddavidc11/08/2009 - 11:49

GooTool just celebrated its 1st birthday too, and today I released version 1.0.1. Important updates in this version include support for goomod version 1.1 addins.

Download it from the usual place: http://goofans.com/download/utility/gootool

Here are all the changes since I last posted here.
