    From the README

    Nuclear requires ongoing maintenance to keep everything working. This version has not been maintained for a while, so expect things to be broken.

    We have started a rewrite here: https://github.com/NuclearPlayer/nuclear-xrd

    This new version will have several advantages

    Stay tuned for updates!
