The software ensures timely distribution of updates

This guideline is inspired by the concept of "Continuous Deployment" (CD): every change that passes all stages of the production pipeline is released (no need for a “release” anymore).

We recommend that a software new version is released every time significant improvements and/or bug-fixes are merged into the main branch.

The goal here is to ensure that important software evolutions are distributed when available and not buried into a slow deployment process.

If your software implements CD, this guideline is automatically followed.
