A maintenance release (also minor release or Maintenance Pack or MP) is a release of a product that does not add new features or content.[1] For instance, in computer software, maintenance releases are typically intended to solve minor problems, typically "bugs" or security issues. Google, for instance, planned to halve its maintenance release times, to biweekly, commencing September 8, 2026, to enhance enterprise user security.[2]
