Roller releases are made on an as needed basis. Here's an overview of the release cycle.

When a Roller committer PMC member would like to make a release at some point in the future, he/she simply proposes that release to the Roller private mailing list. After gaining some consensus that a release is needed, a committer should then create a release proposal page on the Roller Wiki which specifies which new features will be in the release.

After some of the planned features are added, a committer may propose a milestone build. Milestone builds are not official releases, each is just a snapshot, so formal vote is not required, only lazy consensus. They may be tagged in SVN and are made available via informal mechanisms, e.g. a committers people.apache.org space. They are meant for testing only and not intended for production use, so there will be no migration scripts to help folks migrate data from milestone M1 to M2, etc.
