The default branch on GitHub is develop. This is the cutting edge development version. Please DO NOT use this in production, as it may have bugs that eat your data.

The master branch is the current stable release with all the latest bug fixes included. It will move to newer versions automatically. Follow this branch if you want to stay up to date in a production environment.

Each version has its own branch named by version number. At the time of writing, the latest release is 4.6.0, tagged from the series-4.6 branch. Follow this branch for your production installation and perform version upgrades manually.

Each bug fix or set of fixes bumps the minor version and each new release is tagged, eg. 4.6.1. Use tagged releases if you are paranoid about changes to the code you have not tested yourself.

To follow development, please see the contributing section below.

Bug reports and feature requests can be made via our public issue tracker.

New contributors are always welcome, however all developers should review the pull-request checklist before making pull requests.

For any wishes, comments, praise etc. either open a GitHub issue or contact us.
