+Release Version Scheme
+----------------------
+
+Trusted Firmware-M uses a semantic versioning scheme. A version number is
+compiled as a dot separated set of numbers:
+
+**TF-Mv<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<HOTFIX>**
+
+- <MAJOR>: Major release version for significant feature and API changes.
+- <MINOR>: Minor release version for incremental features and API changes.
+- <HOTFIX>: Used only for backporting **critical bug fix/security patches**.
