+Similarly to the current branching model, non-breaking features (`feature/*`) and bug fixes (`bugfix/*`) can be merged into `main` at any point. Non-breaking features (`feature/*`) are released in minor releases, when branched out of `main` for `tag_X.*`. Bug fixes are cherry-picked from main into the respective `stable/X.*` branch.
+
+The main difference with the 0.* schema is that breaking changes cannot be introduced at any point, but only between the release of X.3.0 and X+1.0.0 (between October and January).
