Debian 1999–2004
1 In late 2000, the project made major changes to archive and release
management, reorganizing software archive processes with new "package pools" and
creating a testing distribution as an ongoing, relatively stable staging area for
the next release. In the same year, developers began holding an annual
conference called DebConf with talks and workshops for developers and technical
users.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-release-management-toolkit.html

Data center Requirements for modern data centers
1 Automating: Data center automation involves automating tasks such as
provisioning, configuration, patching, release management and
compliance. As enterprises suffer from few skilled IT workers,
automating tasks make data centers run more efficiently.

1 SQA encompasses the entire software development process, which
includes processes such as requirements definition, software
design, coding, source code control, code reviews, change management, configuration management, testing, release management, and product
integration.

Information Technology Infrastructure Library - ICT deployment management
1 ICT deployment provides a framework for the successful management of design, build, test and roll-out (deploy) projects
within an overall ICT programme. It includes many project management
disciplines in common with PRINCE2, but has a broader focus to include the necessary integration of release
management and both functional and non functional testing.

Multitenancy - Release management
1 Multitenancy simplifies the release management process. In a traditional
release management process, packages containing code and database changes are distributed to client desktop and/or server machines. These packages then have to be installed on each individual machine. With
the multitenant model, the package typically only needs to be installed on a single server. This greatly simplifies the
release management process.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-release-management-toolkit.html

remaining exactly the same as the previous version) would still require the PackageCode to change for release management of the .MSI file
itself.
