Re: [Csnd-dev] restore develop as default branch?

Strongly in favor, if only to make it clear to people who visit the Csound

under active development, but looking at the master branch it appears that
nothing has happened for the past two years.This is a point that came up in
Mike's last Csound Zoom meeting.
