What is Bitcoin Core’s release schedule?

What is Bitcoin Core’s release schedule?

I'm currently using the 27.1.0 Bitcoin Core client version and I have a question about the next version. Will it be the 27.2.0 or the 28.0.0 version ?

Update : The v28 will be available soon I guess, I saw one recently ! enter image description here



Top Answer/Comment:

The version numbering scheme is explained at https://bitcoincore.org/en/lifecycle/#versioning

Versioning

Bitcoin Core releases are versioned as follows: MAJOR.MINOR, and release candidates are suffixed with rc1, rc2 etc.

Major releases

We aim to make a major release every 6-7 months.

These will be numbered 22.0, 23.0 etc.

Maintenance releases

We will provide maintenance “minor releases” that fix bugs within the major releases. As a general rule we do not introduce major new features in a maintenance release (except for consensus rules). However, we may add minor features where necessary, and we will back-port consensus rule changes such as soft forks.

Minor releases will be numbered 22.1, 22.2, 23.1, 23.2 etc.

So it depends what bugs are found, if any, that need to be fixed within the major version release cycle.
