+# Release
+
+## Releasing a major version.
+
+Rename UNRELEASED to a concrete <version> and create a PR with commit: Release <version>. 
+Branch name should match the <version> set in CHANGELOG. 
+Additionally tag that same commit with 0 as a patch version (if branch is v1.1 - tag is v1.1.0).
+
+## Releasing a minor version.
+
+### Latest
+
