+
+## Versioning
+
+Remote Data Blocks uses [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
+
+## Release process
+
+1. Checkout the `trunk` branch and ensure it is up to date.
+2. Run the release script: `./bin/release <major|minor|patch>`
+3. Push the new release branch to the remote repository and create a pull request.
+4. Merge the pull request into `trunk`.
+
+The release process from there is automated using GitHub Actions and will publish a new release on GitHub if the version has changed.
