  MOBILion publishes exactly one first-party developer package family: the MOBILion MBI SDK, a native
  library for reading the HDF5-backed .mbi files written by the MOBIE EyeOn acquisition system. It is
  distributed ONLY as binaries committed into the public GitHub repository — there is no npm, PyPI,
  NuGet, Maven, crates.io, RubyGems or Packagist listing, and no GitHub Release or tag. All of
  pypi.org/pypi/mbisdk, pypi.org/pypi/mbi-sdk, pypi.org/pypi/mobilion-mbi, api.nuget.org (MBISDK,
  MBISDK.NET, MOBILion.MBISDK) and registry.npmjs.org/mbisdk returned 404 on 2026-08-25, so no
  registry metadata endpoint exists to read a version or a release date from. Versions and dates below
  are therefore read from the artifact filenames, the README release banner and the repository commit
  history rather than from a registry.

  note: >-
    published date is the repository's last commit (2026-08-13); there is no release or tag to date it
    from. The Linux .deb/.rpm carry a 1.13.0 filename and package version and a
    libmbisdk.so.1.13.0 soname; the README states plainly that the binaries are in fact 1.13.1 and
    that the Linux packaging job failed to pick up the release version stamp.

  note: >-
    SWIG-generated bindings. The Linux wheel is tagged cp39-cp39, so pip installs it on CPython 3.9
    ONLY, despite broader classifiers in the package metadata — the README says so explicitly. The
    wheel bundles libhdf5.so.200 / libhdf5_cpp.so.200 via a $ORIGIN runpath and needs no system HDF5.
    Its 1.13.0 version label is the same mislabel as the Linux packages; the code is 1.13.1. Windows
    bindings are loose files, not a wheel — put the directory on sys.path with MBI_SDK.dll findable.

  note: >-
    mixed-mode C++/CLI wrapper, Windows x64 only (C++/CLI does not build for Linux). Shipped as flat
    ZIPs, not as a NuGet package; the consuming project must target x64 explicitly and, for the .NET 8
    build, deploy Ijwhost.dll alongside. Version is read from the archive filenames and is the one
    place in the distribution that carries the correct 1.13.1 stamp.

    third-party, not MOBILion-published. msconvert reads MOBILion .mbi and converts to mzML alongside
    AB SCIEX, Agilent, Bruker, Shimadzu, Thermo and Waters raw formats. Recorded for completeness;
    it is NOT counted in sdk_count.
