-Release Cadence and Process
-===========================
-
-Project Release Cadence
------------------------
-
-The project currently aims to do a release once every 4 months which will be
-tagged on the master branch. There will be a code freeze (stop merging
-non-essential changes) up to 3 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 changes are essential for the release.
-
-The release testing will be performed on release candidates and depending on
-issues found, additional release candidates may be created to fix the issues.

-Although this document specifies the release cadence, this does not preclude
-an adhoc release for specific project requirements.
-
-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**.
