Branch Reorganization Update – 2 September 2025 #624
Description
Branch Reorganization Update – 2 September 2025
What This Means
The default branch formerly called master will be renamed master_old.
A new default branch, main, will be created from the latest stable release branch 6.1.x.
You may continue to use master_old, but all new changes will be developed on the main branch.
Please note that the main branch may not include certain changes previously made in master_old.
Why We Are Doing This
The development history in master had diverged from the stable release cycle, which made releases and maintenance less predictable. To keep things clearer and more consistent, we’re aligning future development with the latest stable release of @formio/react. This reorganization will help ensure a more reliable foundation for new features and contributions.
