 *You can always check the version of Phoenix by looking at the 'branches'. The branch with the highest version is the latest branch. 'Master' is the consolidated file, which will contain all changes which have been committed i.e. published. However, the 'Master' file will not necessarily contain all updates being worked on in latest branch, if that branch is not yet complete.
 *Use 'Compare' to compare different branches/versions of Phoenix, e.g. 1.02.6 with 1.02.5.
