# ABOUT

zp is a library for low-level (and high-level) 
algorithms and the querying of system details.
  The algorithms are - by default - implemented 
in C++, but for some targets they may be 
implemented in a platform-dependent manner 
(such as in an assembly language) for the sake 
of performance. Nevertheless, the library is 
still quite early in its development, and these 
algorithms may still not be the most efficient.

# CHANGELOG

Read: "CHANGELOG.txt"

# COMPILATION

Provided are CMake lists files, which 
  The provided script "getTarget.sh" detects the 
target (if supported - otherwise defaults to 
"Any") to be passed to CMake.

## INSTALLATION

The provided script "install.sh" installs the 
library and the (public) headers to the 
specified directories:

./install.sh [build directory] [library directory] [include directory]

The script automatically builds the project 
using pre-defined settings. Note that it does 
recursively remove the build directory before 
initialising it.

# DEVELOPMENT

When developing, all commits must first be 
commited to the "development" branch. When a 
new version is released, the branch is merged 
with the "master" branch and a tag designating 
the version number is made.

Currently, I - the maintainer - do not accept 
any code submissions (I do, however, accept 
suggestions). This may change in the future.

## VERSIONING

The versioning scheme for zP is a major-minor-
patch scheme. The major version is the "API" 
version. The minor version is the "EXT" 
(extension) version. API version change 
(existing) interfaces in the API, whilst the 
EXT version only adds to it, meaning programs 
targeting a specific API also support all later 
EXT versions of the same API.

# LOGO

The logo is a ligarature of the two letters of 
the project's name: z and P. For each API 
version, the background colour is updated. The 
following is a list of the colour values of 
current, previous, and planned background:

0: #000000
1: #00A470
2: #8E183B (planned)
