# The development branch
The development happens on the branch master. This branch follows LibreELEC 8.2 stable.
Current development happens on the branch Lakka-v4.x. This branch follows LibreELEC 10.0 stable.
We consider this branch as a rolling release, and we ensure that:
* All the projects build fine at least on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04
* All the projects build fine at least on Ubuntu 20.04
* All the projects boot
* All the projects boot to RetroArch
We don't have a stable branch + unstable branches. For now, we only work on master which should be as stable as possible.
