 ## Versioning
 
-The Git `master` branch is stable and works with data exported from the latest, non-beta version of the Spine editor. New development is done in an `X.X-beta` branch, which may be a work in progress. Important changes to the runtimes can be reviewed in the [CHANGELOG.md file](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md). Occaisionally the Spine Runtimes are [tagged](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/releases) with the specific Spine editor version they work with.

See the [Spine Runtimes Guide](http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-runtime-architecture#Versioning) for more information.
