I wanted to mention a recent addition to the CHT Docs site: [“Feature Releases for the CHT Core Framework”](https://docs.communityhealthtoolkit.org/core/releases/feature_releases/).

To quote the page:

> To build and iterate on new features at a pace that is faster than our regular release cycle, some features are released in a _Feature Release_. Feature Releases are based on the most recent release and only include improvements related to a feature being developed. These releases are tested to be production-ready so that new features can be studied with CHT partners in a live deployment, with the aim of getting the feature ready for wider use in an upcoming release.

You can see some of these releases starting to appear on forum with “[Upgrade cards](https://forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org/t/feature-testing-upgrade-cards/1712)” and also “[Bulk user creation](https://forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org/t/feature-testing-bulk-user-creation/1723)”. When these have graduated past the planning stage, and are produciton-ready, we’ll be releasing them for partners to test.

Noteworthy, is what happens after a feature is found be successful. To pull another quote from the docs page:

> Once the feature is ready for widespread use it will be included in a regular CHT release. Projects using the feature version can be upgraded as soon as practical to get back on to a fully supported release.

We welcome any interest and inquiries about this effort!
