Note: we changed the default branch to master as most users of F´ should be off this more stable branch. Developers should still use devel and make PRs to devel.

This seeks to resolve the issue where users cloning F´  where seeing some of the churn in devel where the published documentation wasn't always inline with the development root.

I just saw that the CHANGELOG.md has not been updated. Should it be considered deprecated and left there for legacy?

I personally don't mind, it seems better to use the GitHub functionality and it would be easier to maintain.
