This is a change log of the patch and, as such, it should go after the
"---" separator. Instead, you need to restore the original commit
message here.

Please also version your patches, e.g.:

+# CIP metadata versioning and Release policy
+
+## Table of contents
+1. [Objective](#objective)
+2. [Versioning system](#versioningsystem)
+3. [Release policy](#releasepolicy)
+
+## Objective <a name="objective"></a>
+
+The primary objective is to document the release process, it’s frequency and version changing for isar-cip-core metadata. This metadata can be used by CIP users to create various flavors of images like **security-hardened image, testing image, partition-encrypted image** etc. in architectures like **x86_64, arm64, armhf, riscv64**.
+
+## Versioning system <a name="versioningsystem"></a>
+
+The isar-cip-core metadata follows semantic versioning system i.e **x.y.z** format which is explained below:
+
+1. **z** is incremented only when critical bugs are fixed.
+    * For example, if the latest release version is **2.2.5**, then the upcoming release version after fixing some critical bugs will be **2.2.6**.
+
+2. **y** is incremented for each Debian point release or in case of isar-cip-core regular release. When **y** is incremented, **z** is reset to 0.
+    * Let us assume that the latest release version is **2.1.1**, then the upcoming regular release version will be **2.2.0**.
+
+3. **x** is incremented when significant changes are done other than **y** and **z**.
+    * In cases where recipes are broken fundamentally, or support for an older Debian version is dropped then the value of x is incremented by 1.
+    * Let us assume that the latest release version is **1.0.1**. If changes similar to the one mentioned above are done, then the next release will be **2.0**. When **x** is incremented, **y** & **z** are reset to 0.
+
+## Release policy
+
+An approximate time gap of 3 months is taken between consecutive regular releases. During every release, CIP-Core plans to give out recipes (isar-cip-core metadata) using which the user can build the flavor of their choice.
+
+All the releases can be found [here](https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-core/isar-cip-core/-/tags).
