## AI overview

El-Get moves to a rolling release model after a long period of stability. Its master Git branch becomes the stable branch and will accept bug fixes or proven patches, while the project continues adding recipes.

## Source excerpt

The code of El-Get has been pretty stable for a long time now. About the whole set of patches against the 4.x series has been about bug fixing corner cases (sometimes cases that had nothing cornery about them too) and providing more and more recipes. That's what you expect from a stable software, and that what allows us to move to a rolling releases model. In practice, it means that you won't have to suffer from using a badly maintained stable branch anymore. The El-Get scratch installer is now targetting the master branch of the git repository, and this branch is now going to only accept either bug fixes or proven patches.
