+# A note on branches
+
+Every release is associated with a release branch. For instance, release [v0.9](https://github.com/microsoft/chat-copilot/releases/tag/v0.9) is on a branch called [0.9](https://github.com/microsoft/chat-copilot/tree/0.9).
+Once a release is out, its branch will no longer be updated. The exception to this is the latest release branch, which will only receive bug fixes.
+This is to provide some stability to those for whom breaking changes and being on the bleeding edge (with the bugs it can entail) is not a desirable option.
