HISTORY
       1996-10-01:  Carsten  Sorensen (a.k.a. SurfSmurf) releases xAsm,	xLink,
       and RGBFix,  a  Game  Boy  SM83	(GBZ80)	 assembler/linker  system  for
       DOS/Win32.

       1997-07-03: Sorensen releases ASMotor, packaging	the three programs to-
       gether and moving towards making	them a general-purpose target-indepen-
       dent system.

       1999-08-01:  Justin  Lloyd (a.k.a. Otaku	no Zoku) adapts	ASMotor	to re-
       focus on	SM83 assembly/machine  code,  and  releases  this  version  as
       RGBDS.

       2009-06-11:  Vegard Nossum adapts the code to be	more UNIX-like and re-
       leases this version as rgbds-linux.

       2010-01-12: Anthony J. Bentley forks Nossum's repository.  The fork be-
       comes the reference implementation of RGBDS.

       2010-09-25:    Sorensen	  continues    development     of     ASMotor:
       https://github.com/asmotor/asmotor to this day.

       2015-01-18:  stag019 begins implementing	RGBGFX,	a PNGtoGame Boy	graph-
       ics converter, for eventual integration into RGBDS.

       2016-09-05: RGBGFX is integrated	into Bentley's repository.

       2017-02-23:   Bentley's	 repository   is   moved   to	the    rednex:
       https://github.com/rednex/rgbds organization.

       2018-01-26: The codebase	is relicensed under the	MIT license.

       2020-09-15:     The    repository    is	  moved	   to	 the	gbdev:
       https://github.com/gbdev/rgbds organization.

       2022-05-17:  The	 rgbds.gbdev.io:  https://rgbds.gbdev.io  website  for
       RGBDS documentation and downloads is published.
