This release introduces a new engine versioning scheme. Instead of Patch Set Updates (PSUs), Oracle supplies Release Updates (RUs) and Release Updates Revisions (RURs). RUs contain optimizer changes, feature additions, and security fixes. RURs only contain security fixes for the two proceeding quarterly patch cycles. This new versioning system gives you more control over the features you install with each update.
