I am confused now. Carsten said is his announcement that master did NOT contain the 7.01 release: <quote> P.S. If you are trying to find the 7.01 release on the master branch in the repository, you will not. The releases are now on a new branch, called "maint", which will contain only commits that are also releases. This will make it easier to make minor fixes to a release while development continues on the master branch. </quote> > At certain times, including in the past few days, 'master' is deemed > release-worthy, and a stable release is produced.

Would this explanation be correct then: Right now, 7.01 is in the maint branch, for a few days/weeks or so, until the small nags have been resolved; the master branch is the last 6.36 release. Once the little bugs/issues have been resolved, 7.01 will be merged with the master branch, and everything will be back to (my) normal? Is this correct?
