 In 2021, Jorrit Wronksi implemented the entire CMake build pipeline within the
 GitHub CI environment. New annotations introduced in Modelica 3.4 now allow to
 build and ship the ExternalMedia package with built-in pre-compiled libraries

+In 2023, Federico Terraneo helped switching from statically linked to dynamically
+linked compiled binaries, while keeping access to the ModelicaError function to
+properly handle run-time and compile time errors generated by external media models.
+This eliminates the need to have different binaries for each compiler, now only one
+DLL/shared library is needed for each operating system. At long last, ExternalMedia
+can be used out of the box with different Modelica tools and operating systems,
+without the need of arcane installation procedures.
