+Development Lifecycle
+
+    vX.X.X-dev will be default(master) branch. All contributors must push to latest vX.X.X-dev branch. Once development
+    is complete(believed to be stable) new vX.X.X Stable branch will be created from Dev branch. Then vX.X.X Stable will
+    be merged into Stable branch. After that a new vX.X.X-dev branch will be created and it will be default(master) 
+    branch. Old dev branch will be deleted at this stage(to save space) and no development will happen on old stable or 
+    dev(if not deleted) branch. All development will only take place in latest dev branch. You must not create pull 
+    request for any other branches other than latest dev branch.
