Pull Request Process

1. Ensure any install or build dependencies are removed before the end of the layer when doing a build. Please read README.PATCHING for information on this.
2. Increase the version numbers to the new version that this Pull Request would represent. The versioning scheme we use is similar to SemVer. Backward-incompatible API changes increment major version number. API enhancements increment first significant digit. And small patches increment last two significant digits.
3. As soon as you open the Pull Request you'll see that the CI software like Travis-CI and Code- -cov get triggered. You may merge the Pull Request in once all checks are complete and your changes are deemed good. You may also install these CI software for your own fork, and open a Pull Request only after you know that it will meet the standards.
