# Serial Communication Library
## Note about Repository Changes
If you had the serial library checked previously and now those settings seem broken, it is because I recently reorganized the serial repository. I wanted these checkouts to break so that you were forced to update.
If you previously were using the `master` branch, that version is now under the git tag `v0.1`.
If you were previously using the `boostless` branch, that version is now tagged as `v0.2` or `boostless`.
If you were previously using the `new_api` branch, that has become the new `master` branch and is also tagged `v1.0`.
