= What are the principal release branches of Weka? =

Refer to [|History] for a tabular overview of all Weka releases.

Several branches are associated with the 1st, [|2nd], and [|3rd] editions of the book "Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques" by [|Ian H. Witten] and [|Eibe Frank], joined by [|Mark Hall] for the 3rd edition.

Once created, non-development branches receive bug fixes, but no new features (classifiers, filters, etc.).
