v1	As needed	Tracks the latest updates within the major version 1, offering a balance between stability and new features. Recommended for most users.
v1.x	As needed	Targets a specific minor version within the major version 1, receiving only bug fixes and patches. Ideal for environments requiring minimal changes.
1.x.x	Fixed	Specifies an exact version for maximum stability. This tag does not receive updates, making it suitable for critical environments.
1.x.x-prerelease	As needed	Points to a specific pre-release version for testing or development purposes, where the latest features are needed despite potential instability.
