Repository Structure

About VisionEval Repositories:

The VisionEval.org domain and the VisionEval organzation at GitHub.com are products of a Pooled Fund project (the "Pooled Fund") that is led by the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) with support from seven states and three Metropolitan Planning Organizations.

Updates to the code, documentation and other VisionEval resources sponsored by the pooled fund are delivered through a set of repositories in the VisionEval organization:

• VisionEval - The released versions of VisionEval (all releases are tagged)
• VisionEval-Dev - Development version of VisionEval
• VisionEval-Docs - Tutorials and Concept Primer 'book'
• VisionEval.org - Site code for visioneval.org

Branches in VisionEval-Dev

The master branch in VisionEval-Dev contains public releases of VisionEval code, documentation and other resources. It is identical to the master branch in the main VisionEval repository.

The development-next branch in VisionEval-Dev is work destined to become the next release of VisionEval. While this branch will stay (as best we can manage it) complete and operable, and may have new features compared to the public version, it will change often. New developments appear on this branch, and when all is well, development-next may be pushed to master and tagged as the next release. These developments are managed by the Pooled Fund.

Proposed changes to VisionEval should be submitted by forking VisionEval-dev on Github and making a pull request against the development-next branch. The pull-request will be rejected (and closed) if during review it cannot be merged without conflicts to the HEAD of development-next (which may have moved while you were developing your change!). It is the submitters responsibility to ensure that their pull request merges into development-next without conflicts.

Using any VisionEval code other than the master or development-next branches happens at your own risk.

VisionEval is an Open Source project

Pooled Fund development activities are being conducted under contracts with FHWA. Pursuant to project management requirements related to the integrity of the work performed for hire under this contract, the Lead Agency will only publish materials that have been reviewed and accepted.

Once published, all VisionEval materials (code, documentation, executables) are released under an unrestricted license, allowing anyone to use, copy, or modify the materials without limitation. Those materials include everything available in the VisionEval and VisionEval-Dev repositories.
