Flag Strings (Version 0.1.x and 0.2.x)

These flags are taken from version 0.2.12, and use the same general formatting as the original release. Refer to the changelog to see when particular flags were added or modified.

This formatting for flags was used until the major changes in v0.3.0.

Modern (v4.5.0) equivalents of the flags are provided in parentheses. Many of the original flag descriptions are provided in italics.
