Given the RF2's history tracking capability, it is possible to perform a number of different releases of content:
Full | The files representing each type of component contain every version of every component ever released. |
Snapshot | The files representing each type of component contain one version of every component released up to the time of the snapshot. The version of each component contained in a snapshot is the most recent version of that component at the time of the snapshot. |
Delta | The files representing each type of component contain only component versions created since the previous release. Each component version in a delta releaserepresents either a new component or a change to an existing component. |
There are valid use cases for each type of Release Type. Each International releasewill incorporate all three of these Release Types, allowing users to choose the most appropriate format for their needs.
A full releasewill always be available from release centers. Optionally, other Release Formatsmay also be made available. Where out of cycle releases are made, these will follow the same format as standard cycle releases.
