meaning of major release

1. major release A release of a piece of software which is not merely a revision or a bug fix release but which contains substantial changes e. g. , an overhaul of the interface, change in compatibility. Traditionally, major releases are numbered as X. 0; for example, WordPerfect 6. 0 is a major release, significantly different from any previous version; whereas WordPerfect 6. 1 has only minor changes, and is, thus, only a revision.
