Release Strategy

Currently new releases are in the pre-alpha version range < 1.0.0; later in 2021 will aim to start releasing alpha (1.0.0-alphaX) and beta (1.0.0-betaX) versions.

The goal is to have a stable 1.0.0 release available at the beginning of 2022 at which point we will immediately move to an odd-even release strategy. Odd major release numbers will be Long-Term Support (LTS) and even major release versions will contain unstable next generation features.

Critical bug fixes will be back-ported to LTS releases but they will not receive any new features or functionality.
