## LTS Releases
### Marking a Release Line as LTS
To mark a release line as LTS, the following changes must be made to
`src/node_version.h`:
* The `NODE_MINOR_VERSION` macro must be incremented by one
* The `NODE_PATCH_VERSION` macro must be set to `0`
* The `NODE_VERSION_IS_LTS` macro must be set to `1`
* The `NODE_VERSION_LTS_CODENAME` macro must be set to the codename selected
for the LTS release.
For example:
```diff
-#define NODE_MINOR_VERSION 12
-#define NODE_PATCH_VERSION 1
+#define NODE_MINOR_VERSION 13
+#define NODE_PATCH_VERSION 0
-#define NODE_VERSION_IS_LTS 0
-#define NODE_VERSION_LTS_CODENAME ""
+#define NODE_VERSION_IS_LTS 1
+#define NODE_VERSION_LTS_CODENAME "Erbium"
-#define NODE_VERSION_IS_RELEASE 0
+#define NODE_VERSION_IS_RELEASE 1
```
The changes must be made as part of a new semver-minor release.
