This chapter describes how to release components to containing components.

AppA. After R1.1 is released, when someone
loads AppA, it has R1.1 in it--and not
R1.0.
The types of components that you can release include the following:
This chapter primarily covers releasing of classes and applications. Defining lineups for multiple platforms covers how to release prerequisite applications, subapplications, and configuration maps into more complex configurations called lineups.
