  • Improve installation instructions
  • Tighten the build system to much more Modern CMake
    • Detachment of build system for downstream consumers
    • Increment CMake required version to 3.13
    • Install binary executables
    • Install and test CMake config file
    • Installation divided on three components: Runtime|Library|Development

    • Increase GHC version

  • Provide help message when executables are not used correctly
