Description
2025 marks thirty years since the first release of WCSLIB, a software library closely linked to FITSWCS, the FITS World Coordinate System standard. From the start, WCSLIB informed the development of FITSWCS and now provides one of several practical implementations. In this talk I will describe WCSLIB's origins, its close connection with FITSWCS, and major milestones in their evolution. I conclude with some general observations on software development as I have experienced it in relation to WCSLIB over the past decades.
