 Installation

-There is no installation and there are no dependencies external to the Python
-standard library.
+If you use pip, then simply `pip install munter.py`.
+
+If you don't use pip, then download the source code and unpack it into
+its own directory. You can invoke it directly via `python munter.py
+[options]`.

-My workflow involves planning my tour using tools like ArcGIS or CalTopo. Then,
-I take the stats between each leg (distance, vertical gain/loss) of the tour
-and run them through Munter.py and thence record its output to my field
-notebook.
+The program supports both imperial and metric, and has four "travel
+modes" at this time: uphill, flat, downhill, bushwhacking. It also
+supports a simple fitness modifier: slow, average, fast.
+
+By default, the output will be the time in hours and minutes of the
+specified leg. If you prefer, you can use the `-p` switch to get a
+"prettier" output.
+
+There is also a GUI mode available, based on WxPython, which can be used
+by simply invoking like so:
+
+`./munter.py -g`
+
+### Use as a library
+
+You can also use Munter.py programmatically from Python, like so:
+
+`import munter`  
+`est = munter.time_calc(distance=3.2, elevation=2300, fitness='slow')`
+
+This will store a value like "3.64914" in the `est` variable.

-The rudimentary "GUI" can be directly transferred to e.g. the format used by
-SnowPit Technologies' "Avalanche Field Notebook" or your own personal format
-(e.g. RitR No. 471).

-* Personal "fitness" switch (to help fine tune your estimates based on
-                                                        your personal fitness level as observed
-                                                        over time)
-* GTK mode
-* Use as a Python library from within another project
-* Lint it (e.g. therapist)
-* Pip?
-* Sphinx/autodoc?
+* Better documentation

+- 2.3.0 (Jul 2020)
+
+  Implement 'auto-start in GUI' feature.
+
+  The program tries to detect whether it was invoked from a terminal or
+  not, and if not, it will automatically switch to GUI mode. Useful for
+  invocation via e.g. dmenu(1).
+
+- 2.2.1 (Jun 2020)
+
+  Complete fixes recommended by pylint(1).
+
+- 2.2.0 (Jun 2020)
