 # How to create a release
 
 A release can be created by creating a git tag for a commit. The tag must follow this pattern: 
-v1.2 or v1.2.3
+release-1.2 or release-1.2.3
 
-I.e.: vX.X.Z where X, Y, Z are the major, minor resp. the patch level of the release. Z can be omitted.
+I.e.: release-X.X.Z where X, Y, Z are the major, minor resp. the patch level of the release. Z can be omitted.
 
-**Note:** Such kind of release tags should only be applied to commits in the master branch.
