The Open edX community can share knowledge and improvements more easily when most people use the same stable, consistent version of the Open edX codebase. To that end, edX is creating a series of Open edX releases, which are distinct from the daily deployments to edx.org and have a longer release cycle (on the order of several months between each release). These releases will be tested both by edX and by the Open edX community, and with each subsequent release we will include instructions for how to upgrade from the previous Open edX release.

Every release line (Dogwood, Eucalyptus, etc) has a branch that accumulates changes destined for that release. When it is time to make a new release in the line, we tag that branch. When a release line is no longer supported, we might still add important fixes to the branch, but not make a new tagged release. At that point, someone installing that line will want to install from the branch, not the tags.
Releases before Hawthorn had Vagrant box files. Hawthorn and beyond do not. Not every release needed new box files. Box files the same as the previous release are marked with an asterisk *. Hashes are SHA1 hashes of the box file, not git commit hashes.
