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 VisionEval.

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

Additional branches may appear in this repository, typically consisting of development branches offered as possible updates by organizations unaffiliated with the Pooled Fund. These are maintained for reference, and will eventually be merged into development.

Using any VisionEval code other than the master branch (which may be pulled either from VisionEval or from VisionEval-Dev) happens at your own risk.

New outside contributions to VisionEval should be based either on a tagged release in master (preferred) or on development (it is the submitter's responsibility to ensure that their submission remains current as development changes).

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.
