So I updated it already:
- Changed service directory default to ~/.service (instead of
~/.services) to more closely match system-wide /etc/service
- Made location of directory configurable (in install-or-update.sh)
- Logging now works

So please just do

mv ~/.services ~/.service

in case you used it before.

Make sure you have 8400c3c55fa7cffacbb4be1a43b0962696029dcc or a later
commit.

And yeah, at some time there will be a changelog.
