Everything below the line is branch-specific. ________________________________________________________________________ -This is the trunk (sometimes mistakenly called "HEAD"). -When people say "use CVS emacs", this is the branch they are talking -about. Likewise, a "cvs checkout" without the "-r" option results in -this branch. - -Emacs development takes place on the trunk. Most of the time, Emacs -hackers add to it relatively free of constraint (aside from proper -legal / accounting practices), although sometimes there is related -discussion on the emacs-devel mailing list. - -Sometime before the release of a new major version of Emacs (eg 22.1), -a "feature freeze" is imposed on the trunk. No new features may be -added after this point. This is usually many months before the release. -During this time, there is no official place for development of new features. - -Shortly before the release, a release branch is created. For example, -EMACS_22_BASE or EMACS_21_1_RC for Emacs 22.x and 21.x, respectively. -(Unfortunately the naming scheme has not always been consistent.) - -The release branch is used to make the release (22.1), and all later -members of the series (22.2, 22.3, etc). Generally, only bug-fixes have -been allowed in the minor releases, although in 22.x, self-contained -new features were allowed on a case-by-case basis. - -From the point that a release branch is created, the trunk is free for -development for the next major version. +This is EMACS_23_1_RC branch, intended to be used for the 23.1 release. -- 2.39.5
