Release cadence

When Tetragon publishes minor and patch releases.

Tetragon minor releases (X.Y.0) follow a roughly six-month schedule, similar to Cilium.

Patch releases (X.Y.Z) do not follow a fixed calendar. They are published on demand when users need fixes. Bug fixes are backported onto maintained stable branches (including updates of critical packages).

Published releases are listed on the GitHub releases page.
