 ## Building
 ### Requirements
 
-- A recent-ish build of zig from the [main branch](https://github.zom/ziglang/zig) (0.9.1 will NOT work, it is missing stdlib apis we use)
+- zig 0.10.0
 - System libraries
     * `sqlite3`
     * `libpq`
 
-NOTE: compilation is broken right now because of:
-
-https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/12240
-
-for a temporary fix, rebuild zig after changing `$stdlibdir/crypto/scrypt.zig:465` to use `default_salt_len` instead of `salt_bin.len`
