Files
Use the Files tab to view file Releases associated with your Project that have been uploaded to GForge. Files are organized into Packages and Releases and each Release may contain multiple files.
Packages are distinct modules within your Project, for example a documentation module is a separate Package from the binary module.
Releases are distinct versions of Packages, such as 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2. Since each version may have multiple platforms, Windows, Linux, Solaris, and such, a Release may contain multiple files.
