Credits

This nitcorn library is a fork from an independant project originally created in 2013 by Jean-Philippe Caissy, Guillaume Auger, Frederic Sevillano, Justin Michaud-Ouellette, Stephan Michaud and Maxime Bélanger.

It has been adapted to a library, and is currently maintained, by Alexis Laferrière.
