| ## Versions |
| |
| Each PIO release will be versioned: `<MAJOR>`.`<FEATURE>`.`<MAINTENANCE>` |
| |
| - **MAJOR**: Major releases are not on any particular cadence. Major releases are likely to be |
| stable over a long period (one year or more) |
| - **FEATURE**: We are targeting new feature releases every two months and will include new |
| features, improvements and bug fixes |
| - **MAINTENANCE**: This is reserved for urgent bug fixes on the current release |
| |
| ## Release Cadence |
| |
| Feature releases will occur every two months. Maintenance releases will be ad-hoc, as needed. |
| |
| - At the beginning of each release, committers nominate features for the upcoming release |
| - At end of week, share JIRA link with dev user group to invite comments on the list |
| - Committers modify the target list as necessary after comments are integrated and assign them to devs |
