+**How to build**
+   - *nix: [use CMake](build/cmake/readme.md)
+   - Windows: use MS Visual C++ 2015 project

 **Pull request requirements**
 - Pull-request to *master* branch will be unconditionally rejected
 - *integration* branch is intended for pull-request. Usually, *integration* branch is the same as *master*
 - *dev* branch is intended for main developing. Usually, it contains unstable code
