+## How to support a new major Rails version
+
+Follow these steps when starting support for a new Rails major version:
+
+* In `filterrific`
+   * Archive the current major rails version into a new branch off of master, e.g., when starting to support Rails 6, create a new branch for `5.x` from current master. This will be the branch used for ongoing 5.x support, and all new development for Rails 6 will happen in the `master` branch.
+   * Make all changes required to support a new version of Rails.
+   * Release the first `filterrific` version for Rails 6: `6.0.0`.
 
+* In `filterrific_demo`
+   * Following the same example for Rails 6:
+   * Make sure that the `5.x` branch is up-to-date with master, and with current filterrific.
+   * Create a new `6.x` branch. In that branch create a brand new rails app using a current version of Rails 6.
+   * Make sure that the app works with the relevant version of `filterrific`.
+   * Deploy demo app to heroku.
