Hi :)
I think it's an artistic type question rather than a scientific one. An update
might only contain a few bug-fixes/patches and minor modifications perhaps a
minor additional functionality / functionality. A new release / version
contains major new features and a ton of updates.
As we saw at a higher level when Oracle tried to push out a 3.4.0 release rather
than just making it a minor point release (such as 3.3.4) people can try to make
it appear that they are going to deliver more than they are really giving.
Quite where the dividing lines are can be unclear i think. Sometimes it is
obvious but not always.
Regards from
Tom :)

Also, I wasn't even thinking about a corporate environment where the
root would do the updating not the user.
It's the same at home --- with the difference maybe that the person
maintaining the system is likely the same person who has root access.
What makes "a version" "a version"? That someone decides to take what's
currently in the git repository and makes it available in another way,
or is there something special involved?
