-> Morpheus uses Calendar Versioning ([CalVer](https://calver.org/)). For each Morpheus release there will be an image tagged in the form of `YY.MM-runtime` this tag will always refer to the latest point release for that version. In addition to this there will also be at least one point release version tagged in the form of `vYY.MM.00-runtime` this will be the initial point release for that version (ex. `v23.03.00-runtime`). In the event of a major bug, we may release additional point releases (ex. `v23.03.01-runtime`, `v23.03.02-runtime` etc...), and the `YY.MM-runtime` tag will be updated to reference that point release.
