So there's this desktop application.And I am wanting to inform it's users that a new version has been released.Is it more correct to say that a new version of a desktop application has been 'released' or 'deployed' (as with a web app)?
Deploying v Releasing
web applications;deployment;desktop application
Deployed means that it's been shoved onto and works on a server or other machine (say an embedded chipset) somewhere. Released means that that machine and the application(s) on it has been made available to the public. So release would be the better term.
