I'm using the 0.5 release but i will look into this part of the code.
I also found out, that there are just bold escape modes for 8 colors so
this might explain the behaviour when the programm is using one of the
other 248 colors that can't get bold.

Hmm strage chars at the end of the line...
But don't get me wrong i don't have this notion in my head. And since
you said fixing valid bugs is still on i'm fine. It's just that some
software gets abandoned and new techs are coming and so some software
needs to be updated cause of the dependencies.
And there might still be some features that might get added, and i read
the TODO so i thought there might be future releases :)
