11We recommend most clients track our tip-of-tree as we work hard to keep it
12green. Doing so gives us timely feedback, and users the best chance of getting
13fixes.

15If you require less frequent updates, we cut a stable milestone every four weeks
16along with Chrome.

18## Release Process
19
20Chromium (and Skia) have a staged branching strategy. Every four weeks a branch
21is cut from a relatively stable revision near HEAD, is stabilized for six weeks,
22and then promoted to stable.
23
24Skia branches alongside Chromium, and progresses through the branch
25testing pipeline along with other Chromium components. The Chromium release process is thoroughly documented in the
26[Chrome Release Cycle](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/process/release_cycle.md).
27
28The branch/release dates are in the
29[schedule](https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/schedule). The current
30branches are listed in https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/branches.
