Release information

This topic describes the structure of a release XML file.

When you create a release, you specify the following fields:
  • Release name

You can also enter information into other fields, such as the release alias, when you edit the release file. They are described below.
Note: Some of the fields must not be modified manually (such as the versions that a release contains), otherwise the Content Store will be corrupted. Please contact IXIASOFT before modifying the release file manually.
