All [components](components.md) of Constellation use a three-digit version number of the form `v<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>`.
The components are released in lock step, usually on the first Tuesday of every month. This release primarily introduces new features, but may also include security or performance improvements. The `MINOR` version will be incremented as part of this release.
Additional `PATCH` releases may be created on demand, to fix security issues or bugs before the next `MINOR` release window.
New releases are published on [GitHub](https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/releases).
### Kubernetes support policy
Constellation is aligned to the [version support policy of Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/releases/version-skew-policy/#supported-versions), and therefore supports the most recent three minor versions.
