[PD-dev] release pd 0.52 update?

[Dan Wilcox]

(Whoops, sending again with correct subject line)

So far, we have been merging simple fixes into the develop branch, but another approach could be to have two develop branches:

* develop: merged things agreed upon for the next release, things which *may* need additional testing as we move forward
* develop-stable: bugfixes only, as applied to the current release version

For many projects which use git, the master/main branch would be a "develop-stable" and people would checkout releases based on tags. Then a develop branch would be stuff like new features and updates for the next version which would be merged to master/main later on.

We have stayed out of touching the master branch since it would have conflicted with the original sourceforge git repository and only Miller touches it. Maybe this is no longer a requirement?
