We use the following branching model:
* `master` is the stable branch. Building from here is the same as building
from the latest tarball, or installing a binary package. No development is
done on the `master` branch.
* `stable` is a branch containing the content of the latest release. Building
from here is the same as building from the latest tarball, or installing a
binary package. No development is done on the `stable` branch.
* `2.6.0` is the current development branch. All work is done here, and upon
release it will be merged to `master`. This development branch is not stable,
and should be treated accordingly. Make backups.
* `develop` is the current development branch. All work is done here, and upon
release it will be merged to `stable`. While development branch is not
stable, we utilize CI to ensure we're at least not merging improvements that
break existing tests, and hence should be relatively safe. We still recommend
making backups when using the development branch.
