the most active branch is 0.1.x which I use for preparing next releases

development takes place in 0.1.x, for every release changes get merged into master. what do you think about it?

python is used for our project website (photon.komoot.de) and it’s great to work on the query as you can restart faster. Python and Java are using the same queries stored here https://github.com/komoot/photon/tree/master/es

The java implementation is used for production so fixes and improvements go there.
