Rolling Release
A "Rolling Release" is a software development model where updates and new features are continuously integrated into the software rather than being released in distinct versions. This approach allows users to access the latest improvements and fixes without needing to wait for a major release cycle. It is commonly used in operating systems like Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
In a rolling release system, users typically receive updates on a regular basis, which can include security patches, new functionalities, and performance enhancements. This model contrasts with traditional release cycles, where software is updated periodically, often requiring users to perform significant upgrades.
