master _vs_ released version

Is there a reason the README suggests installing from GitHub, and not from rubygems?

GitHub is always the latest.

Thank you for responding and so quickly too.
I appreciate that GitHub master would always have the latest commits, just trying to better understand: All those conventions of semantic versioning, breaking changes, etc... they don't apply?

They apply but I'm not mega diligent about keeping up with them for something as rudimentary as a views helper gem. When you use a Github ref in your projects Gemfile, you're taking more responsibility for manually auditing versioning, since it's still present in the gem itself, just enforced quite the same way.

Thank you for clarifying, and for the gem, of course.
