1. A method for assembling an update for a software release, comprising steps of:

  • (a) defining classes of software components, each class comprising one or more instances of the class, each instance having a unique identifier (UID), each instance of the class representing a software component, which has one or more versions;

    (b) for each version of a software component, assigning one or more time stamps, and an indicator identifying a status of the version of the software component;

    (c) introducing a flexible coupling between versions of components and instances of classes by providing a pointer between a version of a component and a UID of an instance of a class;

    (d) selecting versions of software components from which pointers originate;

    (e) for each instance of the class, to which the pointer points at, selecting one version of the software component based on the assigned indicators;

    (f) assembling the selected versions of software components into the update of the software release.
