Branches

The "master" branch always contains the last released version of the library and some possible bug fixes. This is the most stable version. On the other side, the "develop" branch is used for development. This branch is frequently updated and can be quite unstable. Therefore, if you want to use the library in your application, it is recommended to checkout the "master" branch.

Issues

If you find any issue with the library, you can report it on the issue tracker here.
