Standards

Standards are very important to a successful project. When developing an application for production that may not get maintained for sometime, you may want to specify a version that your app has been tested with and is supporting. During the development phase, often times it is better to use a master branch so you can work with the latest code and view potential issues while capturing security patches and updates.

These are the simple standards that are observed for this project.

• Master branch will be compatible with the latest LTS Laravel framework
• Major updates may not maintain backwards compatibility
• Minor updates will maintain backwards compatibility
• Patch level updates will maintain backwards compatibility
