Development Roadmap
===================

The versioning scheme is a mess, originally even minor version numbers were
supposed to be stable and odd ones development branches, but turns out that for
the most part it is easier to do incremental development instead of keeping
'dev' and 'stable' branches.

A development branch might be added in the future if the changes are radical
enough and break backwards compatibility in some important way. For this the
deprecated and currently outdated `werc-dev` mercurial repo will be used.
