Hi!

If you talking about developing new features, you can not develop on 5.5
because 5.5 is a stable release that is closed for new features. So you
should develop against master or, in rare cases you're sure your feature
is small and self-contained enough to be included in 5.6, then against 5.6.
If you're developing a bugfix, however, you should start with the
version the bugfix is applied to, which may be 5.5.
