Wiring pi is defunct.

I used to love using the Wiring Pi library in C for programing the IO of the Raspberry pi.
I haven't used a PI for a project in a while, and I guess in that time developer of WiringPi has
stopped supporting the library.
I tried using version 2.52 on a raspberry pi 4, but it says something like the hardware isn't listed in /proc/cpuinfo.

So I guess I cant use wiringPi. what C libraries would you use for programing GPIO in C on a rasperry Pi 4?
Ive looked around the internet, and I see some various options, but Im not sure what code works with which boards, etc.

    I am not surprised if there are some issues with software post hardware changes.

    Anyone working with an operating system that has some years in will have discovered it. Unfortunately the discovering is typically made when something that doesn't work now, worked previously. I have frozen upgrades on a few of my Pi installs because I know the upgrade would break the system.

    I will tuck this note away if I ever have reason to use a Pi 5.
