1. DEFINITIONS

“Service Release” means a progression of the 1st or 2nd digit of the version release number in a four point version control system (e.g., v7.1 to v7.2). A Service Release provides significant improvements and includes changes to the basic structure of the Solution, including, by way of example only, the inclusion of additional features, functionality, and corrections to defects in the Solution.

“Maintenance Release” means a progression of the 3rd digit of the version release number in a four point version control system (e.g., v7.1.1.0 to v7.1.2.0). A Maintenance Release provides corrections to defects within the Solution, and may provide minor improvements to the Solution.

“Critical Release” means a progression of the 4th digit of the version release number in a four point version control system (e.g., v7.1.1.0 to v7.1.1.1). A Critical Release provides corrections to essential defects in the Solution, including by way of example only, fixes for a security vulnerability or a Solution stability problem, and may provide minimal modifications that do not substantially change the basic structure of the Solution.
