 * It is allowed to change web API to add new fields or remove optional ones. However, in case of model changes, new API version must be introduced.
 * On the other hand, it is allowed to change method signatures, however, it is recommended to add new parameters as optional if possible. Deprecated API can be dropped during major release.
 * Enumerations (`Enum` classes) are allowed and recommended. However, it is recommended to use `StrEnum` class if there are from/to string conversions and `IntEnum` otherwise.
+* `Generator` return type is not allowed. Generator functions must return generic `Iterator` object. Documentation should be described as `Yields`, however, because of pylint checks. Unfortunately, `Iterable` return type is not available for generators also, because of specific `contextlib.contextmanager` case.
 
 ### Other checks
 
 The projects also uses typing checks (provided by `mypy`) and some linter checks provided by `pylint` and `bandit`. Those checks must be passed successfully for any open pull requests.
 
+Frontend checks normally are performed by `eslint` (e.g. `npx run eslint`).

 ### Generate documentation templates

 ### Create release
 
 ```shell
-tox -m release -- x.y.z

 The command above will generate documentation, tags, etc., and will push them to GitHub. Other things will be handled by GitHub workflows automatically.
+
+### Hotfixes policy
+
+Sometimes it is required to publish hotfix with specific commits, but some features have been already committed, which should not be included to the hotfix. In this case, some manual steps are required:
+
+1. Create new branch from the last stable release (`major.minor.patch`):
+
+    ```shell
+    git checkout -b release/major.minor major.minor.patch
+    ```
+   
+2. Cherry-pick desired commit(s):
+
+    ```shell
+    git cherry-pick <commit-sha>
+    ```
+   
+   Alternatively, make changes to the new branch and commit them.
+
+3. Push newly created branch to remote:
+
+    ```shell
+    git push --set-upstream origin release/major.minor
+    ```
+   
+4. Proceed to release as usual:
+
+    ```shell
+    tox -m release -- major.minor.patch+1
