In today's Wasmtime meeting we discussed the acceptance criteria for patch releases for Wasmtime and Cranelift. The criteria we came up with were: * Cranelift will get a patch release for any miscompilation, whether or not it affects Wasmtime. * Wasmtime will get a patch release for security issues and bugs which seriously hinder usability. The consensus at the time was that due to Wasmtime's monthly release schedule we want to be pretty strict about what generates a patch release, hence the threshold being at serious bugs as opposed to any bugs found. This commit attempts to update the `stability-release.md` document with our documented release process. The release cadence section is brought up to date, the Wasmtime section was edited slightly (it largely already said this which I only just realized), and a Cranelift section was added.
