I just installed Visual Studio 2012 and noticed that the version as mentioned in the ‘about’ menu is:
Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL
I am familiar with RTM (Release To Manufacturing) but am curious what the REL component means.
Anyone have any insight?
RTMRel is the “release to manufacturing” release. A bit redundant, but rhymes with “SP1Rel” (the Service Pack 1 release).
Update: see Edward’s comment below. There is a point to the “Rel” part. It means a “release” build (optimized and stripped of debugging information). MSDN members can also get “Chk” builds for debugging purposes.
