Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches +if they don't match the project's coding conventions (see coding.txt) +or are controversial. + +The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed +to be completely stable. Tags are regularly created to indicate new +official, stable release versions of Bitcoin. If you would like to +help test the Bitcoin core, please contact QA@Bitcoin.org. + +Feature branches are created when there are major new features being +worked on by several people. |
