## Release branching

This project has adopted release branches for major release numbers. This allows
for updates and fixes on documentation for past release windows.

The `master` branch is for the current major release. An active window ends with

spawns from `master` to track any further contributions. Open pull requests

`meta-ti` or `meta-arago`. Until that point `master` is effectively `12`.
