From a [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) standpoint, all Forgejo releases are [pre-releases](https://semver.org/#spec-item-9) because they are suffixed with a dash.

## Experimental release process
An experimental release is published every time [an update of the Forgejo dependencies](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/milestones?q=cleanup) is completed. This release is named after the next stable release, with the `-test` suffix. For instance `v1.22.0-test`.
When the stable release is in its final stages, it is replaced by the release candidates, which changes the suffix to be `-X-rcN`. For instance `v1.22.0-2-rc1`.
## Release signing keys management
A GPG master key with no expiration date is created and shared with members of the Owners team via encrypted email. A subkey with a one year expiration date is created and stored in the secrets repository, to be used by the CI pipeline. The public master key is stored in the secrets repository and published where relevant.
