 -   [Minor WordPress Releases](#minor-wordpress-releases) (`patch` dist tag) – only when bug fixes or security releases need to be backported into WordPress Core.

It is also possible to perform development releases at any time when there is a need to test the upcoming changes.
 
 There is also an option to perform [Standalone Bugfix Package Releases](#standalone-bugfix-package-releases) at will. It should be reserved only for critical bug fixes or security releases that must be published to _npm_ outside of a regular WordPress release cycle.
