plf-colony/7.55.0

This repository is only setting up the library and it's tests to be published in https://cppget.org through Build2. We use a git submodule targetting a specific version of the library for each package version.

Note about the separate test package:

The separate test package exists because the tests of plf-colony v6.x depended on plf-rand so to avoid additional dependencies for people wanting to use plf-colony without the tests we split it in 2 packages, the test one being the one depending on plf-rand, while plf-colony does not. However tests in versions 7.x of plf-colony do NOT have any dependencies, which makes the separated test package more complicated than necessary as the tests could be part of the plf-colony package. However, to avoid complicated changes in this repository and to allow easilly re-enabling dependencies in tests in the future, we will keep the separate packages as before.
