=head1 release_guide.pod - guide to Rakudo releases

B<< NOTE: this guide is for a manual release process. You may want
to use the automated process described in
L<docs/release_guide_automated.md|https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/docs/release_guide_automated.md> >>

Rakudo’s development release cycle is the third Saturday of
each month.

Each development release is given a sequential number and a name based
on the release year and month.  Older releases had code names based on
an active Perl Mongers group.

For releases made so far, see the list of development releases at the
end of this document.

=head2 Planned future releases

Note that we are trying very hard to ensure there are no backward
compatibility issues post Christmas. As such, we may end up delaying
some releases to ensure any compatibility issues are resolved.
