possible.
## Our Development Process
New versions are being developed in the "dev" branch,
or in their own feature branch.
When they are deemed ready for a release, they are merged into "master".
As a consequences, all contributions must stage first through "dev"
or their own feature branch.

2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
4. Ensure the test suite passes.
