# Release Branches

Release branches have a name of `release-MAJOR.MINOR`. Essential Istio repositories are branched from master roughly 4
weeks prior to a new release. The `istio/istio.io` repository does not get branched until the release is ready
for publication.

This document outlines getting in new features after a new branch has been cut and the process for getting a PR
merged in before and after the first public release.

1. Config translation
1. Config serving (XDS)

### Config Ingestion

Istio reads from over 20 different resources types, and aggregates them together to build the proxy configuration. These resources can be sourced from Kubernetes (via watches), files, or over xDS; Kubernetes is by far the most common usage, though.

Primarily for historical reasons, ingestion is split into a few components.

  * Explicitly opting into behavioral changes can be acceptable. For example, introducing Istio multi-cluster semantics.
* Ensure traffic between mesh workloads is securely encrypted with an Istio identity.
* Be lightweight enough to not limit adoption.
  * This puts a much tighter budget on CPU, memory, latency, and throughput requirements than traditional Istio sidecars.
