Rolling Release

Definitions

1. A release model where software is updated continuously rather than through large, infrequent version jumps. Rolling releases give users faster access to current packages but can increase operational churn and breakage risk.

   In plain English: A software release style where updates arrive continuously instead of in big separate versions.

   Example: "The workstation runs a rolling release, which is great for tool freshness and terrible for surprise Monday rebuilds."
