Yes it did. Once 2.065 is released, the branch will be merged back into master and then deleted.<br>

When it's time to prepare 2.066, a new release branch will be created. See<br>

Per-release branches were working fine. They make it easy to keep adding fixes to after release. They're simple. They're easy to track. Etc etc. They're tried and true for oh so many projects.<br>

I fail to see how "release" makes it many more difficult but I will concede that keeping the branch around does simplify the process of adding fixes after release.<div><br>

Sigh, how many more ways is this release going to suck?<br>
