public release
Made widely available
Public release is the act of making something available to the general public, especially information, documents, or creative works that were previously restricted or unavailable.
Government agencies issue public releases of declassified files; companies announce public releases of new products or software.
The phrase often implies official authorization: The report is now cleared for public release.
A public release may also be a press release—an official statement distributed to media outlets.
