Release Management#

Currently, we release in a montly cycle (first Tuesday in month). We strictly use semantic versioning. In case of urgent bug reported or vulnerability identified, we release a hotfix (patch) for the latest major and minor version. The major and minor version must be matching for compatibility reasons; however, patch version might differ.

We release multiple components from the same repositories:

  • frontend = wizard-client, registry-client, wizard-style-builder

  • backend = wizard-server, registry-server

  • tools = mailer, document-worker, tdk, data-seeder (and other Python libraries)

When a hotfix is released, it is always for all the components in the affected repository.
