There are release milestones and meta milestones ("buckets").
- Version-number milestones (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, …) assign issues to production releases.
- The nearest upcoming version is assigned a target date.
- Low-risk fixes in the current branch are first committed to the stable branch, then merged to master. For example, if the current stable release is `0.1.1` and a bug-fix is assigned to the `0.2` milestone, it does not mean users need to wait until 0.2 to get the fix. The patch will be committed to the stable branch and released in `0.1.2`.
- [todo](https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim/milestone/4) is a bucket for triaged tickets which should be on the roadmap but cannot yet be assigned to a concrete milestone.
- [unplanned](https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim/milestone/5) is a bucket for low-priority items or items lacking a feasible path to completion.
- The primary goal of the 0.1 release ("first public release") is to reach a stable, functional baseline that can be built upon and used as a benchmark for further progress.
