## Releases
The next major release will be **September 30th, 2021**.
The next major release will be during the last week of **March 2022**.
We release by pushing the latest code to the master branch, followed by updating the npm package, our [docs](https://developers.google.com/blockly), and [demo pages](https://google.github.io/blockly-samples/). We typically release a new version of Blockly once a quarter (every 3 months). If there are breaking bugs, such as a crash when performing a standard action or a rendering issue that makes Blockly unusable, we will cherry-pick fixes to master between releases to fix them. The [releases page](https://github.com/google/blockly/releases) has a list of all releases.
Releases are tagged by the release date (YYYYMMDD) with a leading '4.' and a trailing '.0' in case we ever need a major or patch version (such as [2.20190722.1](https://github.com/google/blockly/tree/2.20190722.1)). Releases that have breaking changes or are otherwise not backwards compatible will have a new major version. Patch versions are reserved for bug-fix patches between scheduled releases.
