Notes

• Starting in the CuPy v13 development cycle, we have adjusted our release frequency to once every two months. Mid-term or hot-fix releases may be provided depending on necessity, such as for new CUDA/Python version support or critical bug fixes.
• The schedule and planned features may be subject to change depending on the progress of the development.
• v13.x releases will only contain backported pull-requests (mainly bug-fixes) from the v14 (main) branch.
