 This library (should) cover all the electronics components found in the official [fab inventory](http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/fab/inv.html). Using this library should also make it easier to share KiCad project files between Mac, Windows and Linux systems.
 
+> **Warning!** the library is under active development. Naming of components can change overnight. Make sure to `git pull` the latest version before doing work.

 ## Installation
