Making a pull request

Blocks development occurs in two separate branches: The master branch is the development branch. If you want to contribute a new feature or change the behavior of Blocks in any way, please make your pull request to this branch.

The stable branch contains the latest release of Blocks. If you are fixing a bug (that is present in the latest release), make a pull request to this branch. If the bug is present in both the master and stable branch, two separate pull requests are in order.
