## Feature release

Feature releases occur once a quarter. As their name suggests, feature releases introduce new features to the code base. Unlike major releases, feature releases are backward compatible (source compatible). The second digit in the release number indicates the feature release. For example, Mbed OS 5.1.0 indicates major version 5, feature version 1.

Not strictly true. From January onwards we will make 'a' release on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. This could be a patch, feature or major release depending on what has landed on Master since the last release.

I thought we should wait until January to change that in the docs and that for now we should indicate what the current release cadence is. What do you think?
