Neither of those is how development works in Frameworks.

"master" is the development branch *and* the release branch.

Most of the work on any library can be split into small enough chunks that can 
be committed incrementally, each change being stable and tested.
Only very large refactorings (e.g. changing the underlying technology) might 
sometimes require a work branch, but that is really the exception, smaller 
refactorings can also be done incrementally.

You're joining an existing project with existing rules. I made a compromise 
already on the versioning, can you make a compromise on the git workflow?
