 [matthijskooijman](https://github.com/matthijskooijman) is the original creator of this DSMR parser.
 [glmnet](https://github.com/glmnet) and [zuidwijk](https://github.com/zuidwijk) continued work on this parser in the fork [glmnet/arduino-dsmr](https://github.com/glmnet/arduino-dsmr). They used the parser to create [ESPHome DSMR](https://esphome.io/components/sensor/dsmr/) component.
 After that, the work on the `arduino-dsmr` parser stopped.
-Since then, some issues and unmerged pull requests have accumulated. Additionally, the dependency on the Arduino framework causes various issues for some ESP32 boards.
-This fork addresses the existing issues and makes the parser usable on any platform.
 
 ## The reasons `dsmr_parser` fork was created
 * Dependency on the Arduino framework limits the applicability of this parser. For example, it is not possible to use it on Linux.

 # How to work with the code
-* You can open the code using any IDE that supports CMake.
-  * `build-windows.ps1` script needs `Visual Studio 2022` to be installed.
-  * `build-linux.sh` script needs `clang` to be installed.
