  1. Release Processes
  2. =================
  3. Project Release Cadence
  4. -----------------------
  5. The project currently aims to do a release once every 6 months which will be
  6. tagged on the master branch. There will be a code freeze (stop merging
  7. non-essential changes) up to 4 weeks prior to the target release date. The release
  8. candidates will start appearing after this and only bug fixes or updates
  9. required for the release will be merged. The maintainers are free to use their
  10. judgement on what changes are essential for the release. A release branch may be
  11. created after code freeze if there are significant changes that need merging onto
  12. the integration branch during the merge window.
  13. The release testing will be performed on release candidates and depending on
  14. issues found, additional release candidates may be created to fix the issues.
