+# Known issues
+
+Unfortunately, with Elixir 1.7+ `System.cmd` seems to pass parameters
+differently to the environment than it did before, now requiring shell options
+like `--foo=bar` to be split up as `["--foo", "bar"]`. Since this library makes
+heavy use of command line parameters, I intend to bump the Elixir version to 1.7
+for that reason, starting with v0.6.0.
