Definition
Release is a process of launching a new product for a specific market or user base. In software development, a product release is sometimes done with a beta version so that core developers/users can facilitate the process of debugging, and provide feedback prior to the release of the software increment to the market.
Origin
From middle English, from the Old French term : ‘reles’ (noun), ‘relesser’ (verb) and from Latin term ‘relaxare’ (stretch out again, slacken). Used actively in the late 1980’s in software development.
