Dear mutt-kz list,
Thank you for updating already to the mutt 1.6.0 release. That is great!
However, when I go to github, can someone explain what the difference between master branch and v1.6.0 branch is? (or if no difference now what expectation is for difference in future?)
Further when I click on v1.6.0 branch at bottom it says "README for mutt-1.5". So it is not yet 1.6?
Sorry for my ignorance. I really do appreciate every work being done for this great maintaining of mutt-kz.
Kind regards,
Xu

There is no difference *now*, but after any significant update to mutt upstream the master branch will be rebased, so all references, tags, etc. will be lost. This is reason why we have stable/v<version> branches where is rebase no allowed and where we're going to work on stable releases, for example v1.6.0.2 should be based on this stable branch. For v1.7.0.1 will be created a new stable/ branch from rebased master ... and so on.

This is mistake, it seems the file has no been updated by mutt upstream before release: https://dev.mutt.org/hg/mutt/file/b983eb6c1a04/README.
