Trails intentionally parallels its release schedule with the Node.js release schedule.
Major and minor version releases occur according to a regular calendar schedule, and versions are assigned according to semver. Major releases occur in April. The Trails team releases a minor version once per month with the latest feature updates for the current series. The fifth minor release, in October of the same year, will be tagged for LTS (Long Term Support) which lasts 18 months.
