+title: "Compass Release Strategy"
+description: "An overview of how Compass will be managing ongoing releases."
+author: chris
+---
+
+Most of this is probably obvious, but it doesn't hurt to be explicit about such things.
+
+If you're interested in contributing to Compass, please read the
+[Contribution Guide](http://compass-style.org/help/tutorials/contributing/).
+
+Versioning
+----------
+
+Most stable releases will be released as release candidates first
+(e.g `0.11.1.rc.0`) and then made into official releases after a day
+or so if they don't cause any problems.
+
+Sass Dependency
+---------------
+
+We will decouple major Compass releases from the Sass release schedule
+going forward. When Sass releases happen, we will issue patches to both
+stable and master branches to adjust to any deprecations and new
+features after they are fully released (which means we might have the
+changes waiting in a topic branch). Because Sass is very careful to not
+break existing stylesheets without deprecating first, this shouldn't be
+hard to pull off.
+
+Stylesheet Progress
+-------------------
+
+I do not want to see the compass stylesheets get frozen again 
+like they did in v0.10 while waiting for the next major release.
+Compass users expect us to keep up with browser developments and we will.
+If this means that we need to make v0.12 become v0.13 because
+the stylesheets need to make some major change, then we will do that.
+
+Communicating Change
+--------------------
+
+All new features should have tests, docs, and CHANGELOG entries
+as appropriate as part of the commit.
+
+Additionally, we now have a compass team blog that we can use to communicate
+about new features, best practices, or other Compass related stuff.
+It's easy to add a post, you just drop a markdown file into
+[this directory](https://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/tree/stable/doc-src/content/posts).
+Guest posts are totally welcome via pull requests.
+
+Stable
+------
+
+The stable release is were code lives for the next v0.11 point release.
+Commits should only go here if they are ready for release, until that
+point the code should live in your compass fork or in a topic branch.
+
+Core team members, please use pull requests to manage the code review
+process for any change of significance and get sign-off from one other
+team member before committing to stable.
+
+Changes that can go on stable:
+
+* Browser support updates
+* Non-breaking stylesheet changes and minor features
+  like new mixins or modules.
+* Bug fixes
+
+Changes that can't go on stable:
+
+* New deprecations
+* Major features
+* Big refactors
+
+If you're not sure where to put something, just ask.
+
+Rails 3.1 support is the exception to this rule, given the timeline
+assocated with that release, I will make a topic branch and we'll
+merge that to stable when it's ready.
+
+Core team members will, after committing/merging code to stable, then merge those changes to master so it is up to date.
+
+Master
+------
+
+Master is where code goes to be ready for v0.12. This focus of this
+next release is making extensions easy to make, share, discover, install,
+remove, and use. Any and all ideas that you have related to this are
+welcome. At a minimum, I would like to have an extension directory
+app hosted on compass-style.org and make sure that compass knows about
+it and can install extensions by name from there.
