+The Outlines project follows a structured versioning scheme designed to provide clarity and minimize risk for downstream dependents.
+
+Each part of the version number (`major.minor.patch`) conveys information about the nature and impact of the changes included in the release.
+
+- **Major Releases** includes compatibility-breaking changes to core interfaces, such as `LogitsProcessor`s and `Guides`.
+- **Minor Releases** introduce changes of substance to internal or unexposed functionality. These changes are well tested and intended to maintain compatability with existing use of core interfaces.
+- **Patch Releases** address bug fixes and incorporate low-risk changes to improve stability and performance.
+
+## Releases
+
+Releases along with release notes can be found on the [Outlines Releases GitHub Page](https://github.com/outlines-dev/outlines/releases).
+
+## Version Pinning Recommendations
+
+Here are our recommendations for managing dependencies on the Outlines package:
+
+**Small, Risk-Tolerant Projects:** Pin to a specific major version.
+
+**Large, Conservative Projects:** Pin to a specific minor version.
