Major release brings new features and bug fixes
Minor release brings only bug fixes
- master branch is dedicated to development of new features.
- Each new major release is created from master branch.
- Each new major release is immediately followed by the maintenance branch creation.
- Maintenance branches should be named like the major version number it refers to: v3_1, v4_0, etc..
- Bug fixes impacting only one major version must be applied on its maintenance branch only.
- Bug fixes impacting all or many of the major versions must be applied first on master, and then backported on the maintenance branches.
- Maintenance releases are created from the maintenance branch.

- Raise issues for bugs, features, and enhancements.
- Submit updates and improvements to the documentation.
- Submit articles and guides, which are also part of the documentation.
- Help out repo maintainers by answering questions.
- Share feedback and let us know about interesting use cases.
The best way to directly collaborate with the project contributors is through GitHub.
- If you want to raise an issue such as a defect, an enhancement request, feature request, or a general issue, please open a GitHub issue.
- If you want to contribute to our code by either fixing a problem, enhancing some code, or creating a new feature, please open a GitHub pull request against the master branch.
Before you start to code, we recommend discussing your plans through a GitHub issue, especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give you feedback on your design, and help you find out if someone else is working on the same thing.
It is your responsibility to test and verify, prior to submitting a pull request, that your updated code doesn't introduce any bugs. Please write a clear commit message for each commit. Brief messages are fine for small changes, but bigger changes warrant a little more detail (at least a few sentences).
Note that all patches from all contributors get reviewed.
After a pull request is made, other contributors will offer feedback. If the patch passes review, a maintainer will accept it with a comment. When a pull request fails review, the author is expected to update the pull request to address the issue until it passes review and the pull request merges successfully.
At least one review from a maintainer is required for all patches.
