## Release Schedule
We're using [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/), to indicate major, minor and patch versions. You can find the current version number in the readme, and check your apps version under the config menu. The version number is pulled from the [package.json](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/package.json#L3) file.
Typically there is a new major release every 2 weeks, usually on Sunday, and you can view these under the [Releases Page](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/releases). Each release will create a new [tag on GitHub](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tags), and each major release will also result in the creation of a new [tag on DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/lissy93/dashy/tags), so that you can fix your container to a certain version.

For a full breakdown of each change, you can view the [Changelog](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/.github/CHANGELOG.md). Each new feature or significant change needs to be submitted through a pull request, which makes it easy to review and track these changes, and roll back if needed.

## Automated Workflows
Dashy makes heavy use of [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) to fully automate the checking, testing, building, deploying of the project, as well as administration tasks like management of issues, tags, releases and documentation. The following section outlines each workflow, along with a link the the action file, current status and short description. A lot of these automations were made possible using community actions contributed to GH marketplace by some amazing people.
