Development normally takes places on the trunk.
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes specialized features are developed on separate branches
|
|
|
|
|
before possibly being merged to the trunk.

Development is discussed on the emacs-devel mailing list.

Sometime before the release of a new major version of Emacs (eg 23.2),
|
2009-02-20 04:27:41 +00:00
|
|
|
a "feature freeze" is imposed on the trunk. No new features may be
|
2010-04-15 02:10:20 +00:00
|
|
|
added after this point. This is usually some months before the release.

|
|
|
|
2010-04-15 02:10:20 +00:00
|
|
|
Shortly before the release, a release branch is created, and the
|
|
|
|
|
trunk is then free for development.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, "emacs-23" for Emacs 23.2 and later, "EMACS_23_1_RC" for
|
|
|
|
|
23.1, "EMACS_22_BASE" for 22.x, and "EMACS_21_1_RC" for 21.x.

Consult emacs-devel for exactly what kinds of changes are allowed
|
|
|
|

on what branch at any time.
