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 -for many different operating systems, C-compilers, and Modelica tools. \ No newline at end of file +for many different operating systems, C-compilers, and Modelica tools. + +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.
