Hi,
I’m working on a GeoFence issue for which I’ll write a separate email.
This one is about collaboration. I see the master branch is at 3.5-SNAPSHOT
but 3.6.0 is released, and though there’s a 3.5.x branch, there’s no 3.6.x.
So the question is if master should be at 3.6-SNAPSHOT, or a 3.6.x branch should be created.
In any case, can the appropriate branch be created/updated?
TIA

Hi Gabriel,
Please disregard the master branch, since it has been dismissed in favor of main (when you browse to https://github.com/geoserver/geofence, github shows it as default).
Master evolved (with breaking changes for the standalone version) from the 3.4, but it was never used (there are no tags on it). Its “3.5” version in pom file was the next in line version from 3.4, but it was never released.
The “real” (released) 3.5 tags are on main, not master.
About creating new branches: we usually change version number and create a new branch for the previous one when there are somewhat breaking changes (e.g. DTO or major dependency changes).
When there are only fixes we prefer working on the existing branch.
Anway, this mail is just for clarification, since I guess the spotted issue is not a bug at all 
I also reported these info about branches at https://github.com/geoserver/geofence/wiki/GS-GF-Compatibility-matrix#a-note-about-main-and-master-branches
Cheers,
Emanuele
