Please accept my apologies. I'm not a native speaker, so "to release"
means to me what the dictionary says it means: m-w's fourth meaning,
"make available to the public". That's what I did - I made the release
candidate available to the public.

So is the subject incorrect as well? If so, what should it say?

Regards,
Martin
