+RELEASE SCHEDULE
+----------------
+
+![HDF5 release schedule](doc/img/release-schedule.png)
+
+HDF5 does not release on a regular schedule. Instead, releases are driven by
+new features and bug fixes, though we try to have at least one release of each
+maintenance branch per year. Future HDF5 releases indicated on this schedule
+are tentative.
+
+| Release | New Features |
+| ------- | ------------ |
+| 1.13.2 | VFD SWMR, Onion VFD, Selection I/O |
+| 1.13.3 | Multi-Dataset I/O |
+| 1.13.4 | Subfiling |
+
+This list of feature release versions is also tentative, and the specific release
+in which a feature is introduced may change.
