+There are both plug-in components and products that are part of the "Simantics release train" that shall be released simultaneously to a major or minor Simantics release.\r
+\r
+Plug-in components are installable features that are deployed online as P2 repositories for general availability. Products are deployed as ZIP files and made available online in designated locations on simantics.org. \r
+\r
+Products that are part of the release train: \r
+* Simantics Desktop\r
+* Simantics System Dynamics Tool - [simantics/sysdyn.git](https://www.simantics.org:8088/r/gitweb?p=simantics/sysdyn.git;a=summary)\r

+# Release Schedule\r
+\r
+* Releases are branched 4 weeks before the set release date.\r
+* During this time no more new features are allowed in the release branch and the existing work shall be stabilized. Work must be focused on bug fixes and documentation.\r
+* Source code changes to release branches are forbidden in the last 2 weeks. Documentation-only changes are still allowed. However, if critical show-stopper problems surface during that time, the changes must be done. After that the release engineering team must decide whether to stick to the original release schedule or whether to delay the release. \r
