Branch Names

Many of the pyamsoft repositories have changed their default branch name from "master" to "main".

The master branch comes from the master/slave terminology. With our changing society and these changing times, we must distance ourselves from our old and outdated ways of thinking. pyamsoft applications are developed in the open for all to see, use, and be a part of. We encourage contribution from all peoples of all colors and walks of life.

All Android related projects have moved from "master" to "main". All of the AUR published packages have moved from "master" to "main". The "bubblewrap-wrap" script and the Franz extra service repositories have also moved from "master" to "main". One exception is the "android-project-versions" repository, which cannot be cleanly moved from "master" to "main", as production code relies on this branch existing to check for application updates.

Code related work continues to happen as well, with Highlander and Cachify receiving new releases to fix a recently introduced memory leak. More to come in the following weeks.

Stay tuned.
