Release Definition
A StarlingX milestone/release is a tagged branch in the source code repositories that:
- is considered stable and can be used for repeatable builds
- will have no additional features added
- will backport bug fixes for critical issues only
- will be maintained in the canonical repositories for a specified minimum period
- The list of repos included is maintained in stx-manifest/default.xml (or similar) for any given release. (Note: this file included non-StarlingX-managed repos, only repos from the "starlingx" and "stx-staging" remotes are included.)
- The actual release is a tag on the corresponding branch, i.e. r/2018.10 release branch will be initially tagged as 2018.10.0

- From 2019, the regular release cadence is 3 releases/year; released in March, July, and November.
Formal Releases
- Released three times per year
- For each release, the code freeze for that release is four weeks prior to the release date.
- Branch name format r/YYYY.MM[.n]
- 'r/' is the branch name prefix (release)
- .n is a sequence number appended if more than one branch is created in a given month
r/2018.10
- Release is tagged as YYYY.MM.0
Monthly Milestones
- Informal milestones to be used by the test team for a pre-defined sanity/regression test cycle.
- Created each month in the 2nd week of the month a branch will be pulled.
- Branch name format m/YYYY.MM[.n]
- 'm/' is the branch name prefix (milestone)
- .n is a sequence number appended if more than one branch is created in a given month
m/2018.07
- Release is tagged as YYYY.MM.0
Long Term Support
- To be defined based on release content, not time based
Support Length
- Formal releases are supported for 8 months; support for the n and n-1 releases.
- Long Term Support is ""TBD""
