Introducing 'features' and 'qemu' branches

After 0.2 release, now we are focusing on next stage of Marss developments. While working on 0.2, we did pushed couple of branches on github (core-models, newstats, qemu-0.14 etc.) and it made things confusing for lot of users. To make things more standardized I have pushed two new branches 'features' and 'qemu' on github.

Features Branch
All new features that are not tested extensively will be first published on 'featured' branch so everyone will have early access to whats coming in next release. At the time of writing this blog, I have pushed new feature 'sync' that will synchronize between multiple instances of Marss to make sure their clocks are not too much out-of-phase. Currently we don't have any To-Do list for next release but we are excited about what users want from Marss. So please leave a comment or send email to let us know which feature you want in next release.

Qemu Branch
One of the good thing about QEMU is the ongoing development. More and more people are contributing to QEMU project. To make things more efficient in integrating work from QEMU to Marss, we are announcing this new 'qemu' branch. This branch will merge changes from latest QEMU version. Currently it has updated QEMU 0.15 release. Changes/updates to this branch will be first merged into 'features' branch and will merge to 'master' when we do a new release.

Do a 'git pull' and checkout these both branches for latest and greatest of Marss. Don't forget to submit bug reports!!
