+The sigrok project aims at creating a portable, cross-platform,
+Free/Libre/Open-Source logic analyzer software that supports various
+logic analyzer hardware products.
+
+libsigrokdecode is a shared library written in C which provides the basic
+API for running sigrok protocol decoders. The protocol decoders themselves
+are written in Python.
+
+
+Status and API
+--------------
+
+The libsigrokdecode project is currently work in progress.
+
+IMPORTANT: The API of libsigrokdecode is NOT yet considered stable! Please do
+           not rely on it, yet! Changes to function names, macro names etc.
+           can happen at any time without prior notice!
+
+           The same applies for the API of the Python protocol decoders!
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+ - git
+ - gcc, g++, make, ...
+ - autoconf, automake, libtool, pkg-config
+ - libglib >= 2.22.0
