Release Draft

Noun · Open Source

Definitions

  1. An unpublished or provisional release entry prepared before final publication, often with notes and attached artifacts still under review. In repository workflows, release drafts let teams assemble the release package without making it public too early.

    In plain English: A not-yet-published draft of a software release.

    Example: "The release draft sat in review until docs, checksums, and rollback notes were complete, which prevented another rushed half-documented launch."
