Re: [rdf4j-dev] What is develop branch?

[James Leigh <james.leigh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Peter for your explanation. More details can be found in the
developer guide[1].

What we previously used the master branch for is now going to use the
develop branch. So if you want to compile the latest version use the
develop branch.

Any fixes that should go into a patch release should branch from
master. The master branch is going to be a stale version of the develop
branch, forked prior to the minor version number being incremented,
with all subsequent bug fixes merged in. This will make it easier to do
a patch release as all the fixes will already be merged in.

Regards,
James
