# Smack Readme

version: | @version@
released: | @releasedate@

Thank you for downloading Smack! This version of Smack is compatible with JVMs @targetCompatibility@ or higher. If you dont' use a dependency resolution system, like gradle or maven, then you will need to download at least the Xml Pull Parser 3rd Edition (XPP3) library or any other library that implements the XmlPullParser interface (like kXML).

Start off by viewing the documentation that can be found in the "documentation" directory included with this distribution.

Further information can be found on the Smack website. If you need help using or would like to make contributions or fixes to the code, please visit the online forum.
