Master is not stable; it is our development branch, and [only tagged releases may be classified as stable](https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib/tags).
We recommend every user of this library and the [bitcoinjs](https://github.com/bitcoinjs) ecosystem to audit and verify any underlying code for its validity and suitability.
Mistakes and bugs happen, but with your help in resolving and reporting [issues](https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib/issues), together we can produce open source software that is:
Typically we support the [Node Maintenance LTS version](https://github.com/nodejs/Release).
If in doubt, see the [.travis.yml](.travis.yml) for what versions are used by our continuous integration tests.
**WARNING**: We presently don't provide any tooling to verify that the release on `npm` matches GitHub. As such, you should verify anything downloaded by `npm` against your own verified copy.
**NOTE**: This library tracks Node LTS features, if you need strict ES5, use [`--transform babelify`](https://github.com/babel/babelify) in conjunction with your `browserify` step (using an [`es2015`](http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/preset-es2015/) preset).
**NOTE**: If you expect this library to run on an iOS 10 device, ensure that you are using [buffer@5.0.5](https://github.com/feross/buffer/pull/155) or greater.
For VSCode (and other editors), users are advised to install the type declarations, as Intellisense uses that information to help you code (autocompletion, static analysis).
