"Released" is indeed one implied meaning of it, perhaps the main one, but not the only one. I have witnessed "dropped" being used in diverse contexts to mean "added", and it's getting worse.

Can you provide some examples? I can’t really think of the usage you’re describing, but it might be that just haven’t noticed.

I can't think of a single example where dropped means added.
