11. Release notes

QUAC releases are more a planning tool than anything else; we try to keep the master branch stable. That is, there’s no real point in favoring a release tag instead of whatever is on master. All that gets you is an old version.

11.1. The future

Planning is done in GitHub. There’s no nice view of the key improvements we envision, though you can see all the open issues tagged “release driver” as well as planned future releases (click browse issues too see what’s planned for each milestone).
