| Release | Description |
|---|---|
| Major Releases | Mainstream software for Enterprise networks. As of September 1996, no new features or platform support will be added after initial FCS of a Major Release to protect the stability of the release. Only Major Releases are targeted to achieve General Deployment (GD) status.
Prior to achieving GD status, Major Releases are appropriate for point solution and limited deployment in production networks; however, there may be issues with newer releases. Release notes and outstanding bugs should be consulted prior to deploying. |
| General Deployment (GD) | A Major Release that has reached a level of stability and maturity which makes it suitable for use anywhere in a customer's production network.
GD software is appropriate for use in mission-critical applications. Release notes and outstanding bugs should be consulted prior to deploying. |
| Early Deployment (ED) | A software release used to deliver new feature and platform support in advance of a Major Release. New functionality may be introduced after initial FCS, resulting in software that may be less stable than Major Releases. Proven functionality from ED releases will be incorporated into a subsequent Major Release.
Appropriate for point solutions and limited deployment in a network, where the new functionality is required. As with all releases, release notes and outstanding bugs should be analyzed prior to deploying. |
