-Defined below is a specification to which the Build and Release process of Pico should follow. We use [travis-ci](https://travis-ci.com) to automate the process, and each commit to `master` should be deployable. Once a `feature/branch` or the `master` branch have reached a point where the need for a version increase is necessary move through these phases to generate a Pico release.
