Libraries and Dependencies

Cantag currently relies on a variety of established open-source libraries to get full functionality. Most of these libraries are optional: the configuration process will note if certain libraries are missing and disable related featues. After each library name there is a version tag; this represents a version that is known to work (newer versions are likely to be better, but if problems appear, this oculd be why).
