Why we release yocto on different branch

Why we release yocto on different branch

[Bian Naimeng]

Hi all,

Why we release yocto on different branch?
 
 Yocto Project 1.2: denzil
 Yocto Project 1.3: danny
 Yocto Project 1.4: dylan

Some questions.
1. Do we always create a new branch to release the next Yocto Project?
2. If so, which branch/commit the new branch start from?
3. What's the relation between these branch?

Thanks,
 bian

There is master branch and when the time comes the next release branch is spawned from master

These are release branches cut from master at some point in time.

Thanks for your answer.

Do we apply new features into these branches such as denzil/danny/dylan.
Only bug fix?

Thanks

bug fixes only. And the fix has to be done in master branch if its existing there
and then back ported into the release branch
