Release Cycle of Pre-Release and Stable Core Extensions
In general for extensions the release cycle depends on their stability level. **unstable** extensions are often in
sync with DuckDB's release cycle, but may also be quietly updated between DuckDB releases. **pre-release** and **stable**
extensions follow their own release cycle. These may or may not coincide with DuckDB releases. To find out more about the release cycle of a specific
extension, refer to the documentation or GitHub page of the respective extension. Generally, **pre-release** and **stable** extensions will document
their releases as GitHub releases, an example of which you can see in the [delta extension](https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb_delta/releases).  
Finally, there is a small exception: All [in-tree](#docs:extensions:working_with_extensions::in-tree-vs-out-of-tree) extensions simply
follow DuckDB's release cycle.
