 ### Branches
 
-* `master`: latest stable release (still based on `dev2`).
+* `main`: latest stable release (still based on `dev2`).
 * `dev`:  development branch for mimalloc v1. Use this branch for submitting PR's.
 * `dev2`: development branch for mimalloc v2. This branch is downstream of `dev` 
           (and is essentially equal to `dev` except for `src/segment.c`). Uses larger sliced segments to manage
           mimalloc pages that can reduce fragmentation.
 * `dev3`: development branch for mimalloc v3-beta. This branch is downstream of `dev`. This version 
           simplifies the lock-free ownership of previous versions, has no thread-local segments any more.
