Sürüm

Sürüm is a Turkish noun meaning version, edition, or release of a product, document, or service. It denotes a particular state that results from changes or updates compared to earlier states. The term is widely used in information technology, publishing, and manufacturing.

In software development and IT, sürüm refers to a distinct release of a software product, often identified by a version number (for example 2.1.0). It expresses compatibility, feature sets, and bug fixes relative to previous sürümler. Sürüm yönetimi (version control) is the practice of tracking changes to source code and other assets; common tools include Git, Mercurial, and SVN, sometimes described in Turkish as sürüm kontrol sistemi or sürüm yönetim sistemi. The phrase sürüm numarası or versiyon numarası is used to label releases, while major, minor, and patch terminology is often translated or used in mixed Turkish-English.

In publishing and manufacturing, sürüm denotes a specific edition or revision, such as a revised document, a new edition of a book, or a modified product line. It is often paired with basım sürümü (print edition) or sürüm güncellemesi (update).

Notes: Turkish speakers also use versiyon as a loanword for version, including in technical contexts. However, sürüm is commonly preferred in native Turkish terminology, especially for software and official documents.
