Update README and CHANGELOG for v0.1.0 release

README updates:
- Change status to 'v0.1.0 Released - Production ready'
- Update all imports to use public API (from ini import ...)
- Add File I/O section with parse_file/write_file examples
- Add Multiline Values section with clear examples
- Add Known Limitations section documenting indented keys behavior
- Explain tab-indented keys (Git config) workaround
- Update Python compatibility matrix

CHANGELOG v0.1.0:
- Comprehensive release notes with all features
- 46 tests across 5 suites documented
- Python configparser compatibility matrix
- Known limitations clearly stated
- Technical details (LOC, architecture, tooling)

Documentation now clearly explains the indented keys design decision
and provides workarounds for users who need that functionality.

+## [0.1.0] - 2026-01-13
+
+**Status:** ✅ Production Ready
+
+First production release of mojo-ini! A native Mojo INI file parser and writer with Python `configparser` compatibility.
+
+### Added
+
+#### Core Functionality
+- **Lexer** (364 LOC): Complete tokenization with 7 token types (EOF, NEWLINE, COMMENT, SECTION, KEY, VALUE, EQUALS)
+- **Parser** (171 LOC): Builds `Dict[String, Dict[String, String]]` from tokens
+- **Writer** (142 LOC): Serializes Dict structures to INI format
+- **Public API** (`__init__.mojo`): Clean imports `from ini import parse, to_ini, parse_file, write_file`
+
+#### INI Features
+- Section headers: `[section_name]`
+- Key-value pairs with `=` or `:` separators
+- Comments: `#` (hash) and `;` (semicolon) styles
+- Inline comments after values
+- **Multiline values**: Indented continuation lines (Python configparser compatible)
+- Empty values and empty sections
+- Special characters in values (URLs, paths, emails, Unicode)
+- Default section (empty string key) for keys before any `[section]`
+
+#### File I/O
+- `parse_file(path)`: Read and parse INI files
+- `write_file(path, data)`: Write Dict structures to INI files
+
+#### Testing
+- **46 tests** across 5 test suites (100% passing)
+- Lexer tests (9 tests): Token generation and position tracking
+- Parser tests (10 tests): Structure building, edge cases, errors
+- Writer tests (9 tests): Formatting, roundtrip validation
+- Fixture tests (7 tests): Real-world INI files (sample, git, mypy, windows, multiline, edge cases)
+- Error tests (11 tests): Malformed input, Unicode, stress tests (10K char lines, 100+ sections)
+
+#### Examples
+- `examples/read_example.mojo`: Basic parsing demonstration
+- `examples/write_example.mojo`: INI generation demonstration  
+- `examples/file_io_example.mojo`: File reading/writing with modifications
+
+#### Documentation
+- Comprehensive README with Quick Start, usage examples, limitations
+- `WARP.md`: Development guidelines and architecture documentation
+- Python comparison benchmarks (70-108 µs parse, 8-12 µs write)
+
+### Python configparser Compatibility
+
+✅ **Compatible:**
+- Basic key=value syntax
+- `[Section]` headers
+- `# comments` and `; comments`
+- Multiline values (indented continuations)
+- Inline comments
+- Empty values
+- Special characters in values
+
+🚧 **Planned for v0.2.0:**
+- `[DEFAULT]` section with value inheritance
+- Value interpolation `%(var)s`
+- `ConfigParser` class API
+- Type converters (`getint`, `getboolean`, `getfloat`)
+- Case-insensitive mode
+
+### Known Limitations
+
+**Indented keys NOT supported** (by design, matches Python `configparser`):
+- Lines starting with whitespace are treated as multiline value continuations
+- Tab-indented keys (Git config style) require removing leading tabs
+- Workaround: Keep all keys at column 0, or use TOML/YAML for nested structures
+
+### Technical Details
+
+- **Language**: Pure Mojo (zero Python dependencies at runtime)
+- **LOC**: 1,426 total (733 source, 628 tests, 65 examples)
+- **Architecture**: Three-stage pipeline (Lexer → Parser → Writer)
+- **Error Handling**: Clear error messages with line numbers and context
+- **Package Manager**: pixi for reproducible builds
+- **Pre-commit**: TOML/YAML/JSON validation, whitespace/EOF checks

 ### File I/O
 
-> ⚠️ **Coming in v0.1.0** - File I/O convenience functions not yet implemented. Use Mojo's built-in file operations for now:
-
 ```mojo
-from ini.parser import parse
-from ini.writer import to_ini
+from ini import parse_file, write_file
 
 # Read from file
-with open("config.ini", "r") as f:
-    var content = f.read()

 # Modify

 # Write back
-with open("config.ini", "w") as f:
-    f.write(to_ini(config))
+write_file("config.ini", config)
 ```
 
+See `examples/file_io_example.mojo` for a complete example.
+
+### Multiline Values
+
+Indented lines are treated as continuations (Python configparser behavior):
+
+```mojo
+from ini import parse
+
+var config = parse("""
+[Database]
+connection_string = postgresql://host:5432/db
+    ?sslmode=require
+    &timeout=10
+""")
+
+# Result: connection_string contains all three lines with newlines
+print(config["Database"]["connection_string"])
+# postgresql://host:5432/db
+# ?sslmode=require
+# &timeout=10
+```
+
+**Important:** Lines starting with whitespace are ALWAYS treated as continuations, not as new keys. This matches Python `configparser` behavior.
+
 ### Python configparser Compatibility
 
 > ⚠️ **Coming in v0.2.0** - ConfigParser API with type converters planned for future release.
 
 For now, all values are strings. Manual conversion:
 
 ```mojo
-from ini.parser import parse
+from ini import parse
 
 var config = parse("...")

+## Known Limitations
+
+### Indented Keys Not Supported
+
+**By design**, keys with leading whitespace are treated as multiline value continuations:
+
+```ini
+# ❌ This does NOT create a key named "indented_key"
+[Section]
+key1 = value1
+  indented_key = value2  # This becomes part of key1's value!
+```
+
+This matches Python `configparser` behavior. If you need indented keys, consider:
+- **TOML**: Native support for nested tables ([mojo-toml](https://github.com/databooth/mojo-toml))
+- **YAML**: Indentation-based structure
+- **Remove indentation**: Keep all keys at column 0
+
+### Tab-Indented Keys (Git Config Style)
+
+Git config files use tabs before keys, which mojo-ini treats as continuations. To use Git configs:
+
+```bash
+# Convert tabs to standard format
+sed 's/^\t//' .git/config > config.ini
+```
+
+Or manually remove leading tabs from keys.
