Making new versions (branching)

Module code needs to work with specific versions of Drupal. When a new version of Drupal comes out, you need to update your code specifically for that version. To do this and not mess up your existing code you will be splitting the code base for the new version, which in version control is called branching.

For a detailed discussion of versions and branching, read the Managing Releases section.

Making a new branch

1. Go to your new copy of the module directory.
2. Right click and select CVS > Branch.
3. Enter the proper branch name for the new version.
