What is the difference between installing release vs. patch
We're defing out strategy for applying Pega Software maintenance (release/patch). I've read the documentation about the major/minor/patch levels. We're planning on installing a new release once a year and then instaling the latest patch level 1/2 through the year. What is the difference in effort of installing a new releasse (i.e. from 4.5.0 to 4.6.0) as opposed to installing a patch (i.e. from 4.5.0 to 4.5.6)?
