What's the difference between release and master branches? #967
-
|
I noticed master branch uses CATcher 3.3.9 while there is a newer release of 3.4.1 on release branch. May I ask if the release branch is to be merged to the master branch sometime in the future? How is the release updated? Pardon my ignorance, couldn't find answers on the DG. Thank you! |

Thank you for the question! We definitely intend to aggregate and synchronize these 2 branches when it comes time to publish a new release of CATcher. This will be managed by a senior dev like @seanlowjk :) |

Thank you for the question!
We use
releaseto add patches or fixes to the CATcher tool. In the last semester, there was a function that was marked urgent that we needed to update to the working version of CATcher, without including all the merged PRs that was already in master. This is why there is a divergence in the 2 branches now.We definitely intend to aggregate and synchronize these 2 branches when it comes time to publish a new release of CATcher.

Hope it answers your question, if not feel free to continue the discussion under Discussions. I'll close this issue for now.
