What does “RTMREL” mean in software version?

Question

I just installed Visual Studio 2012 and noticed that the version mentioned in the "about" menu:

Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL

I am familiar with RTM(Release To Manufacturing), but curious what the component means REL.

Does anyone have an understanding?

RTMRel is a release release into production . A bit redundant, but rhymes with "SP1Rel" (Service Pack 1 release).

: . . "Rel". "release" ( ). MSDN "Chk" .
