Nor will there be. The next version will be 7.0 but when using Git there is no benefit to branching until there is a separation between master and what is going to be tagged. Since there is no such separation, there is no branch. > The bleeding-edge version doesn’t seem to be usable. Usable for what?

I assume that depends on the developer. AuriStor Inc builds master on recent 64-bit Linux under Coverity nightly.

There is no build farm. > Are we missing someone to apply patches? Nico, Viktor and I have been applying patches as we have time. We don't have a lot of time. Heimdal has no dedicated development or release management resources at the moment. That said, we are doing our best to move towards a release candidate as time permits. If there are problems on master, report them via GitHub with a reproducible test case. Better yet, propose a fix. Jeffrey Altman
