All versions

3.5.1 is a security fix with no API and no format change — .s2r files written by 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 are read by each other. If your work cites the method rather than a specific build, the concept DOI serves just as well. What 3.5.1 fixes is on the technical scope page.

The repository also ships a CITATION.cff, so GitHub's own "Cite this repository" button produces the same reference.

Reproducing the results

Every number published by the project comes from a program in the repository, and each one asserts what it can before printing. The full battery is one command:

git clone https://github.com/carlostbastos/Smart2Raw
cd Smart2Raw && bash scripts/build_and_test.sh

31 suites, 0 failures — including a differential fuzz suite with fixed seeds, so a result that reproduces once reproduces always.
