From f03aca037952e9be481caefc989f97545a5e345f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Louis Pate Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 20:17:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Be specific about zig version in readme (#996) ## What are the changes about? There have been quite a few issues about the required zig version which have appeared on codeberg recently. Largely these issues are opened (like mine, #995) because individuals attempt to build using development versions of zig and not the tagged releases. The lack of a locked version (only a minimum) creates these issues. Barring a locking mechanism, which I do not feel is my place to implement, we should be clear to newer developers in Zig that you need this specific version, not a development/master versioned release. This is WIP mainly because I feel that a version file would be a better solution than a README note, and I don't have enough zig experience or knowledge of this repo to make a guess at what is best for this scenario. ## What existing issue does this resolve?
