 ## Release cycle
-* for each release we choose several PRs that will be included in the next release. Currently there are many open PRs from ownCloud, but after merging them, the intention is to choose the PRs that are ready (reviewed, tested) to get them merged very soon.
-* these will be merged into master, tested heavily, maybe automatic testing
+* Releases are planned every ~2 months, with 6 weeks of developing and 2 weeks of stabilising
 * after feature freeze a public release candidate on play store and f-droid is released
 * ~2 weeks testing, bug fixing
 * release final version on f-droid and play store
+* Bugfix releases (dot releases, e.g. 3.2.1) are released on demand from the branch created with first stable release (stable-3.2.x). If changes to the library are required, we do the same: create a branch from the version used in stable release (e.g. 1.0.43) and then release a dot release (1.0.43.1).
