In software development, rolling launch , scrolling updates , or ongoing delivery is the concept that frequently sends updates to apps. This is in contrast to the standard development model standard or release point which uses software versions to be reinstalled via previous versions.
The rolling release development model is one of many types of software release life cycles. Although the rolling release model can be used in the development of any piece or collection of software, it is often seen used by Linux distributions, see scrolling distribution.
The rolling release is usually implemented using small and frequent updates. However, having only the updates does not automatically mean that the software uses rolling release cycles; for this, the philosophy of the developer must work with one branch of code, versus the discrete version. When a rolling release is used as a development model, software updates are typically delivered to users by the package manager on a user's personal computer, accessing via internet remote software repositories (often via download mirrors) stored on an internet file server.
