php - How to mark code as stable using Composer?

Question

I've recently come across the change in composer meaning that the default minimum-stability is stable, and rather than set this to dev I'd like to mark some of my libraries as stable.

I actually use two relevant branches, release and dev branched from master. Every so often something is merged into release and tagged as new version.

How does composer determine the stability of my libraries, is there a naming convention for branches, version nums, a key in composer.json?

Thanks

The answer is: Tags. Your may also use Alias, if you don't want to use tags. But it's worth to mention, that you should only mark your packages as stable, when they are stable and not to make others believe they are.
