Bug fix updates may only be applied to installed software with the same version number. Some testing has been performed on the software, but the software has not undergone full testing. You should not distribute these files with your application unless you have verified the suitability of the software yourself.

A maintenance release is a complete set of software that upgrades installed software from an older version with the same major version number (version number format is major.minor.patch.build). Bug fixes and other changes are listed in the release notes for the upgrade.
