On rare occasions, YugabyteDB may issue a hot fix release. Hot fix releases are for specific point issues, and usually offered only to specific customers. Hot fix releases append an additional number to the release versioning convention as `YYYY.N.MAINTENANCE.PATCH.HOTFIX`.
(Prior to version 2024.1, stable releases used a convention similar to [preview releases](#preview-releases), except the MINOR integer is always even.)
