libE57Format is a fork of E57RefImpl v1.1.332.

The original source is from E57RefImpl 1.1.332 and then everything was stripped out except the main implementation for reading and writing E57. This version also removes the dependency on Boost and requires C++11.

Many, many other changes were made prior to the first release of this fork. See the CHANGELOG and git history for details.

Why Fork?

The E57RefImpl code had not been touched in years and I (Andy Maloney) wanted to make changes to compile this library with macOS. Forking it gave me more freedom to update the code and make changes as required.

I changed the name of the project so that it is not confused with the E57RefImpl project. I have also changed the main include file's name from E57Foundation.h to E57Format.h to make sure there is no inclusion confusion.

Versions of libE57Format started at 2.0.
