## Branching and Merging Strategy
To support ongoing development and stable maintenance of Apache OpenNLP, the
project follows a dual-branch model:
### Branch Overview
- **`main`**: Development branch for version **3.0** and beyond. All feature
development and 3.x releases occur here.
- **`opennlp-2.x`**: Maintains the stable **2.x** release line. Receives
selective updates and supports patch releases.
### Workflow Summary
- **Feature Development**
- New features targeting 3.0+ are developed on feature branches off `main`
and merged into `main`.
- **Bug Fixes and Dependency Updates**
- Relevant fixes or dependency updates from `main` may be cherry-picked
into `opennlp-2.x` as needed.
- **Releases**
- **2.x releases** are made from the `opennlp-2.x` branch.
- **3.x releases** are made from the `main` branch.
- **Release Tags**
- Release tags are applied directly to the appropriate version branch
(`main` for 3.x or `opennlp-2.x` for 2.x). The presence of a version branch
does not affect the tagging or visibility of releases.
