Some publish major versions on a fixed schedule. Some release continuously. Others have long gaps between releases.</p> <p>No single approach is objectively best. Each model comes with tradeoffs between stability, maintenance effort, development speed, and security response. The right choice depends on the nature of the software and the resources available to maintain it.</p>
