Developer Notes
There are now 2 branches: The development branch is where new features and code changes will be sorted out. This branch may have untested code in it, so please let us know if you find any bugs. When the development branch has reached a state where it is stable, it will be moved to the stable branch.
We are doing a kind of cleanup in the list of Issues and Pull Requests, the aim is to get to a state where we can certify the code as stable. To get the code tested as widely as possible we require several volunteers with a wide variety of hardware configurations willing to test the firmware and help us to certify it as stable. If you want to help out testing go to this issue and let us know: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/1209
Before you submit any pull request, we ask that you PLEASE test your code before submission, even if the change seems innocuous. When creating the pull request, please include the hardware you used for testing and a short synopsis of your testing procedure. Untested pull requests are less likely to be merged, as even slight changes create the risk of breaking the main branch.
If you have a fix don’t open an issue telling about it, but test the code and submit a pull request. Use the development branch when you submit.
