Hi,

Thanks for catching this. It's a bug in godotenv. I fixed it in my fork and temporary used it in master. I don't like the idea of releasing a new version until it's fixed in the main repo (there are PR https://github.com/joho/godotenv/pull/72 is merged for this), but it looks I'll have to.

You can install the fixed version of overmind with go get.

@DarthSim Hmm - that PR doesn't seem to have a lot of traction. Let's see what will happen - are there other alternative libraries which are better maintained?

[davidkarlsen]

@DarthSim any thoughts on alternatives?

[davidkarlsen]

@DarthSim This was fixed in latest release - wasn't it?

[DarthSim]

Yup. Sorry, I was tired as hell and didn't have a chance to mention the fix here. I decided to go with the forked version of godotenv.
