The version numbering scheme is explained at https://bitcoincore.org/en/lifecycle/#versioning
Versioning
Bitcoin Core releases are versioned as follows:
MAJOR.MINOR, and release candidates are suffixed with rc1, rc2 etc.Major releases
We aim to make a major release every 6-7 months.
These will be numbered 22.0, 23.0 etc.
Maintenance releases
We will provide maintenance “minor releases” that
fix bugs within the major releases. As a general rule we do not
introduce major new features in a maintenance release (except for
consensus rules). However, we may add minor features where necessary,
and we will back-port consensus rule changes such as soft forks.Minor releases will be numbered 22.1, 22.2, 23.1, 23.2 etc.
So it depends what bugs are found, if any, that need to be fixed within the major version release cycle.
