Use the automated [custom firmware build service](http://nodemcu-build.com/) to get the specific firmware configuration you need, or consult the [documentation](http://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/master/en/build/) for other options to build your own firmware. -This project uses two main branches, `master` and `dev`. `dev` is actively worked on and it's also where PRs should be created against. `master` thus can be considered "stable" even though there are no automated regression tests. The goal is to merge back to `master` roughly every 2 months. Depending on the current "heat" (issues, PRs) we accept changes to `dev` for 5-6 weeks and then hold back for 2-3 weeks before the next snap is completed. +This project uses two main branches, `release` and `dev`. `dev` is actively worked on and it's also where PRs should be created against. `release` thus can be considered "stable" even though there are no automated regression tests.

Depending on the current "heat" (issues, PRs) we accept changes to `dev` for 5-6 weeks and then hold back for 2-3 weeks before the next snap is completed. A new tag is created every time `dev` is merged back to `master`. They are listed in the [releases section here on GitHub](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/releases). Tag names follow the \-master_yyyymmdd pattern.
