How it's used
Primarily used in formal or news contexts, this term carries a sense of strategic or official disclosure. It often implies that something previously held back or kept private is now being made available to the public or the market. While it can apply to physical substances like pollutants, it is most frequently encountered in discussions about government policy, economic data, or software updates.
Examples
The government has released a lot of land to build apartments.
When will they finally be willing to release this report?

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this for casual sharing of personal information, but it sounds too clinical or bureaucratic for that purpose. For everyday situations like sharing a photo or a piece of news, use 公開 or 發佈 instead.
