With Gordon ending development of WiringPi, this repository needs to reflect the situation accurately and differentiate between Gordon's final code release and updates made since then.

wiringPi README
===============
Please note that the official way to get wiringPi is via git from
git.drogon.net and not GitHub.
ie.
git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
The version of wiringPi held on GitHub by "Gadgetoid" is used to build the
wiringPython, Ruby, Perl, etc. wrappers for these other languages. This
version may lag the official Drogon release. Pull requests may not be
accepted to Github....
Please see
http://wiringpi.com/
for the official documentation, etc. and the best way to submit bug reports, etc.
is by sending an email to projects@drogon.net
Thanks!

Unofficial WiringPi Mirror
==========================
This is an unofficial mirror of WiringPi to support ports (Python/Ruby/etc). With the
[end of official development](http://wiringpi.com/wiringpi-deprecated/), this repository
has become a mirror of the last "official" source release as well as a source for small
updates to support newer hardware (primarily for use by the ports).
* The final "official" source release can be found at the
[`final_source_2.50`](https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi/tree/final_official_2.50) tag.
* The default `master` branch contains code that has been written since that final source
release to provide support for newer hardware.
Please do not email Gordon if you have issues, he will not be able to help.
Pull-requests may be accepted to add or fix support for newer hardware, but new features or
other changes will not be accepted.
