 e.g. if you are on webpack@v1 currently then default behavior is a PR for upgrading to webpack@v3 and not for webpack@v2.
 If this setting is true then you would get one PR for webpack@v2 and one for webpack@v3.
 
+## separateMultipleMinor
+
+Enable this for dependencies when it is important to split updates into separate PRs per minor release stream (e.g. `python`).
+
+For example, if you are on `python@v3.9.0` currently, then by default Renovate creates a PR to upgrade you to the latest version such as `python@v3.12.x`.
+By default, Renovate skips versions in between, like `python@v3.10.x`.
+
+But if you set `separateMultipleMinor=true` then you get separate PRs for each minor stream, like `python@3.9.x`, `python@v3.10.x` and `python@v3.11.x`, etc.
+
 ## skipInstalls
 
 By default, Renovate will use the most efficient approach to updating package files and lock files, which in most cases skips the need to perform a full module install by the bot.
