###Master - This is the default, and preferred branch.###
* Master will be kept clean and stable. If you follow proper procedure, it will always build on QB64 1.1
* Master will also keep runtime errors to a minimum.
* In fact, if you find a runtime error using Master, please log an issue to the issue tracker
*You may also report any gameplay bugs or grievances for this branch
*Do not report bugs or suggestions here that apply only to Electric 1_1. They'll be ignored.
###1_1 - This is where the rapid development takes place.

* Changes that may potentially break the game from time to time will be made here
* Expect runtime errors and occasional build errors.
* Again, any runtime or build errors you see, please log in the issues tracker under this branch
*Do not log gameplay bugs or grievances in this branch - we're already working on them.
###In the future, there will be a 1_2 branch.
###In the future, there will be a 1_2 branch.###
At that time, 1.1 will become dormant and all new development will be focused towards 1.2
* Exceptions for the 1_1 dormancy will be to fix critical bugs
* There will be a final, binary release of 1_1 on the website.
###The game will be legacied after version 1_2
