I have created the 2_5_X branch. I have made master 3.0.0(-SNAPSHOT) for now. This doesn't stop us having a 2.6 stream if we need it. Which I suspect we do but will cover that in another email.
Just a reminder that for now any bugs fixes might need to be cherry-picked unto both the 2_5_X and 2_4_X branches. I will create additional CI jobs on teamcity over the coming week. Cheers, Paul.
