The libembroidery library (https://github.com/Embroidermodder/libembroidery)
became a seperate project in 2018 as a way of supporting other frontends with the
same file parsing and geometry routines.

## History

Embroidermodder 1 was started by Mark Pontius in 2004 while staying up all night
with his son in his first couple months. When Mark returned to his day job, he
lacked the time to continue the project. Mark made the decision to focus on his
family and work, and in 2005, Mark gave full control of the project to Josh Varga
so that Embroidermodder could continue its growth.

Embroidermodder 2 was conceived in mid 2011 when Jonathan Greig and Josh Varga
discussed the possibility of making a cross-platform version. It is currently in
active development and will run on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and
Raspberry Pi.

The source code and binaries for Embroidermodder 1 were hosted on Sourceforge, but
due to link rot we've lost them.

`This website <https://github.com/Embroidermodder/docs>`_ was moved
to GitHub on September 9, 2013. Due to us losing the domain name it was renamed
to ``www.libembroidery.org`` from ``www.embroidermodder.org``.
