Nitrogen broken ?

Has anyone else noticed that nitrogen is kind of broken since the last update ?
Seems like the command line options haven't changed while the rest of the program has:

nitrogen --help
Usage:
--help, -h
Prints this help text.
--no-recurse
Do not recurse into subdirectories
--restore
Restore saved backgrounds
--save
Saves the background permanently
--set-best
Sets the background to the given file (best-fit)
--set-centered
Sets the background to the given file (centered)
--set-scaled
Sets the background to the given file (scaled)
--set-tiled
Sets the background to the given file (tiled)
--sort=[arg]
How to sort the backgrounds. Valid options are:
* alpha, for alphanumeric sort
* ralpha, for reverse alphanumeric sort
* time, for last modified time sort (oldest first)
* rtime, for reverse last modified time sort (newest first)

This is kind of annoying, makes nitrogen unusable in scripts...

the command line sets are a bit of a second class cousin to the normal program, in fact i wasn't aware anyone used them. i'll make a note to clean them up before 1.5.

I just want to say I use it too
I setup nitrogen (in command line) to change my background when I change workspace in fvwm.

Thank you!
