-                A release consists of the following:
-                <itemizedlist>
-                    <listitem><para><emphasis>Name:</emphasis>
-                        The name of the release (<filename>name</filename>).
-                        This release name never appears in the the Toaster
-                        web interface.
-                        Consequently, a user never sees the release name.
-                        </para></listitem>
-                    <listitem><para><emphasis>Description:</emphasis>
-                        The textual description of the release
-                        (<filename>description</filename>).
-                        This description is what users encounter when creating
-                        projects with the Toaster web interface.
-                        When you configure your release, be sure to use
-                        a description that sufficiently describes and is
-                        understandable.
-                        If Toaster has more than one release configured, the
-                        release descriptions appear listed in a drop down menu
-                        when a user creates a new project.
-                        If Toaster has only one release configured, all
-                        projects created using the web interface take that
-                        release and the drop down menu does not display in the
-                        Toaster web interface.

-                        The Bitbake version (<filename>bitbake</filename>)
-                        used to build layers set in the current release.
-                        This version is described by a name, a Git URL, a
-                        branch in the Git URL, and a directory path in the
-                        Git repository.
-                        As an example, consider the following snippet from
-                        a Toaster JSON configuration file.
-                        This BitBake version uses the master branch from the
-                        OpenEmbedded repository:

-                        The help text should assist users in making the correct

-                To summarize what comprises a release, consider the following
-                example from a Toaster JSON file.
-                The configuration names the release "master" and uses the
-                "master" branch provided by the layer source of type
-                "layerindex", which is called "OpenEmbedded", and sets
-                the <filename>openembedded-core</filename> layer as the one
-                to be added by default to any projects created in Toaster.
-                The BitBake version used would be defined as shown earlier
