# Release {version}
We are releasing a new version, this issue will keep track of the progress between the first release candidate (20th of each month) to the final release (27th of each month).

After the 20th of each month we start the release process that ends 7 days after, during that period we enter a Feature Freeze. While in the Feature Freeze, we will only be merging bug fixes and not new features.
Beginning on the 20th of each month, we will start the release process which ends 7 days later (the 27th). During this period of time, we will enter a "Feature Freeze". This Feature Freeze means that we will only be merging pull requests which fix bugs and not ones which add new features.

When you find a bug that is a regression, please open a new issue and link it to this one.
