Patch version: backward-compatible bug fixes. E.g. v6.1.1, v6.1.2
Tags like vX.Y.Z are created for every release.
Release cycle¶
Bug fixes: released on demand even weekly
Minor releases: every 3-4 months
Major releases: approximately yearly
Branches¶
The core repositories have at least the following branches:
master: latest version, patches are merged directly hererelease/vX.Y: stable versions of the minor releases
Change log¶
The changes are recorded in Change Log.

Before v8 the last minor release of each major series was supported for 1 year. Starting from v8, every minor release is supported for 1 year.
