Maintenance strategy

The repository follows the release-named branch strategy.

Current branch state

Branch master is in development maintenance.

Maintenance states

A branch can be in one of the following maintenance states:

State	Maintenance level
bleeding edge	Expect breakage as we're working on things. No guarantees for functionality at any given point in time.
development	Development once it has stabilized is applied here. Not recommended for production, breakage is considered a bug and will be fixed. Feature submissions should always be applied here first.
stable	Ready for production. Stability takes precedence over features.
end of life	No maintenance. Expect increasing security problems and breakage. Updating to a stable branch is highly recommended.
