CUMULATIVE FIX PACKS

Adobe introduced a single delivery model for releasing fixes recently. Instead of releasing hot fixes for single issues, Adobe releases a Cumulative Fix Pack (CFP) every month (subject to passing quality checks), which is an aggregator content package for multiple fixes. CFPs primarily include bug fixes but might also include Feature Packs. They have the following advantages over single hotfix releases:

• Cumulative in nature (for example, CFP3 contains fixes for CFP2 and CFP1).
  
• Increased quality assurance
• Simplified installation (User installs a CFP as a single package that has no dependencies, except for the latest service pack)

For more information on CFP and other releases, see Maintenance Release Vehicle.

The Adobe Experience Manager 6.3 Cumulative Fix Pack is available on the Adobe Package Share and the release notes at https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/release-notes--aem-6-3-cumulative-fix-pack.html.
