Hey guys, maybe this is not such a major deal, but a lot of newbies do land on the front page and start with Master which, as everyone knows, people in the chat tell them to get off of and install Develop right away (for all the right reasons). Could you guys please just change the link on the front of the web site to switch it to install the Develop branch instead of the Master? It would only take 10 seconds to do I'm sure.

Thanks.

P.S. Somebody has to look out for all the new people. :)

Thank you for the idea. I tag this as bug.
We should also update the README of the master branch to tell people to install the develop branch until the next stable is ready (which will includes support for spacelpa ELPA repository and fix lots of stability issues for master branch users).

@syl20bnr you may change the default branch for the repository from Settings -> Branches.

Thinking about it it might be confusing as the website is for the master branch. The website for develop branch is another URL. The documentation will not be consistent.

I think that at this point we can wait a bit more for a full release :-)
I’m on spacelpa stabilisation currently and last week I was able to work on it. Once it is finished the release will be near.
