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