## Repository Structure ##
### Folder Structure ###
dev -> development files
|- build -> files used on the build process
|- src -> source files
|- tests -> unit tests
dist -> distribution files
|- docs -> documentation
### Branches ###
master -> always contain code from the latest stable version
release-** -> code canditate for the next stable version (alpha/beta)
develop -> main development branch (nightly)
**other** -> features/hotfixes/experimental, probably non-stable code
## Building your own ##
This project uses [Apache Ant](http://ant.apache.org/) for the build process. If for some reason you need to build a custom version of JS-Signals install Ant and run:
ant build
This will delete all JS files inside the `dist` folder, merge/update/compress source files, validate generated code using [JSLint](http://www.jslint.com/) and copy the output to the `dist` folder.
**IMPORTANT:** `dist` folder always contain the latest version, regular users should **not** need to run build task.
