The pre-built library files in this directory are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

1. Binary files in git cause issues:

   • Merge conflicts that are difficult to resolve
   • Repository bloat (git doesn't compress binaries well)
   • Noise commits from automated builds

2. Better alternatives are available:

   • Download libraries from GitHub Releases
   • Build from source (fast: <1 second with make all)
   • Use workflow artifacts for development builds

For stable versions:

• Download pre-built libraries from Releases
• Each release includes all platform libraries + combined archive

For development:

• Build locally: make all (requires appropriate toolchain)
• Download workflow artifacts from GitHub Actions runs
• Libraries are available as build artifacts for 90 days

Example:

# Download release
wget https://github.com/stackless-dev/stackman/releases/download/v1.0.0/libstackman.a

# Or build from source (fast!)
make clean && make all

• v1.0.0: Libraries still committed (this directory)
• v1.0.1: Library commits disabled, this directory marked deprecated
• v2.0.0: This directory will be removed entirely

The following platforms are available in releases:

• Linux: sysv_amd64, sysv_i386, arm32 (AAPCS), aarch64 (AAPCS64)
• Windows: win_x86, win_x64, win_arm64
