Compatibility Notes

Zig is in active development and the APIs can change frequently, making it challenging to support every dev build. This project currently aims to be compatible with stable, non-development builds to provide a consistent experience for the users.

Supported Version: As of now, zvm is tested and supported on Zig version 0.13.0.
