programming A
release of a piece of software which is not
substantial changes (e.g., an overhaul of the
interface,
change in compatibility).
Traditionally, major releases are numbered as X.0; for
example, WordPerfect 6.0 is a major release, significantly
different from any previous version; whereas WordPerfect 6.1
has only minor changes, and is, thus, only a
revision.
