Open Stack

So if I understand it right, Swift will have releases every 6 months
along with all the other Openstack projects. In between those 6 months
too, there will stable, production-ready releases, but not necessarily
at any fixed cadence.

Good to know about semantic versioning.

Thanks once again.

All Swift releases use a semantic versioning scheme. Currently we're on 1.12.0 and our next release will be 1.13. We have a release of Swift near the end of the six-month OpenStack cycle that is included in the integrated release. For example, OpenStack Havana included Swift 1.10.
