PIGPIO release Version 73 to support 512 I2C devices

[yboujraf]

Dear @fivdi

Few hours ago the repository released a new version of PIGPIO

https://github.com/joan2937/pigpio/releases/tag/V73

Do you think your repository could sync the new release and get the new features ?

Best Regards, Youssef

As mentioned in the pigpio Node.js module readme, the pigpio Node.js module is a wrapper for the pigpio C library. When the pigpio Node.js module is installed with the command npm install pigpio, the C++ code in the pigpio Node.js module is compiled and linked with the shared pigpio C object library called libpigpio.so from pigpio C library. In other words, a dynamically linked shared library is used (libpigpio.so). A statically linked library that becomes part of the pigpio Node.js module is not used.

This means that when a new version of the pigpio C library is released it can simply be installed and the pigpio Node.js module will function correctly if there are no breaking changes in the pigpio C library.

There is no TODO for the pigpio Node.js module here. Simply install V73 of the pigpio C library and everything should function correctly.

You don't need to copy anything anywhere. You need to download and install V73 of the pigpio C library as described here.

@yboujraf I successfully upgraded from V71 to V73 of the pigpio C library using the instructions provided here and the previously installed version of the pigpio Node.js module functioned correctly before and after upgrading to V73 of the pigpio C library.

Note that since the release of the first version of the pigpio Node.js module in 2015 there have never been any breaking changes to the pigpio C library that resulted in the pigpio Node.js module breaking. The pigpio Node.js module and pigpio C library have always worked well together.

There is no TODO for this repository here so I'll go ahead and close this issue.
