# Release Goals Route
**SquirrelJME** follows a goal-oriented release plan rather than one of
fixed dates. This is to reduce stress and not put hard time limits but
more of an action-oriented plan to meet when it is time for releases.
Until all of the goals are met (or otherwise pushed back or dropped if
needed) the lowest version number will remain at _zero_. Otherwise, when the
goals are met the _Release Candidate_ process will start.
To reduce the possibility of releases failing due to issues, there will be a
release candidate as a kind of test to ensure that the release process works
and that **SquirrelJME** actually functions. There will be as many release
candidates as needed for the fixing of issues, however once the release is
determined to be stable enough it will then become an actual release and
get an even numbered release version.
