## Security releases
Note: This section describes process used for security releases before the [new security policy](https://go.dev/issue/44918) was applied. It is not current.
Security releases preempt the next minor release and need to ship only the security fix.
To avoid rolling back the release branch in that exceptional case, a new release branch is created based on the previous release. For example `release-branch.go1.9-security` is branched from tag `go1.9.4`. The release is tagged from that branch, and the branch is then merged into the main release branch. For example `go1.9.5` is tagged from `release-branch.go1.9-security`, which is then merged into `release-branch.go1.9`.
