+Releases
+-------------
+
+The release tarballs use [semantic versioning] since 0.19.0, which
+basically means:
+
+- The major version will be incremented if backward incompatible changes are added
+- The minor version will be incremented if new functionality is added in a backward compatible manner
+- The patch version will be incremented if only backward compatible bug fixes are added
+
+Note that there is no stable/unstable indication in whether the minor
+version number is even or odd.
