+Development and releases are structured around two branches, `main` and `release`. The `main` branch is the source and destination for feature branches.
 
-We prefer to squash commits (i.e. avoid merge PRs) from a feature branch into `develop` when merging, and to include the PR # in the commit message. PRs to `develop` should also include any relevent updates to the changelog in readme.txt. If a feature constitutes a minor or major version bump, that version update should be discussed and made as part of approving and merging the feature into `develop`.
