What are the Release types available on the baseline release record?

The selection of Major, Minor, Upgrade, Emergency, Maintenance, and Patch as Release types available on the baseline release record represents a comprehensive categorization of releases that organizations typically use to manage their software deployment and maintenance processes.

Each of these types has a specific purpose:

• Major releases often introduce significant new features, substantial changes, or improvements that fundamentally affect the system. They typically require extensive testing and may involve significant modifications to the existing system.

• Minor releases are less extensive than Major releases and usually include smaller enhancements, bug fixes, or performance improvements that do not alter the system's core functionality but enhance its efficiency or usability.

• Upgrade releases specifically refer to updates that transition a product to a newer version, which may include both Major and Minor updates.

• Emergency releases are prompted by critical issues that demand immediate attention, such as security vulnerabilities or major bugs that must be fixed to maintain system integrity.

• Maintenance releases focus on regular updates that ensure the system remains stable and secure without necessarily introducing new features.

• Patch releases are typically targeted fixes for specific issues identified in the software, ensuring that the application runs smoothly without the need for a full release cycle.

This classification helps teams to plan, coordinate
