function New-BMRelease
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Creates a new release for an application in BuildMaster.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    The `New-BMRelease` function creates a release for an application in BuildMaster. It uses the BuildMaster [Release and Package Deployment API](http://inedo.com/support/documentation/buildmaster/reference/api/release-and-package).
 
    .EXAMPLE
    New-BMRelease -Session $session -Application 'BuildMasterAutomation' -Number '1.0' -Pipeline 'PowerShellModule'
 
    Demonstrates how to create a release using application/pipeline names. In this example, creates a `1.0` release for the `BuildMasterAutomation` application using the `PowerShellModule` pipeline.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    New-BMRelease -Session $session -Application 25 -Number '2.0' -Pipeline 3
 
    Demonstrates how to create a release using application/pipeline IDs. In this example, creates a `1.0` release for the application whose ID is `25` using the pipeline whose ID is `3`.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    New-BMRelease -Session $session -Application $app -Number '3.0' -Pipeline $pipeline
 
    Demonstrates how to create a release using application/pipeline objects. In this example, creates a `1.0` release for the application represented by the `$app` object (which must have either a `Application_Id` or `Application_Name` property that represent the ID and name of the application, respectively) using the pipeline represented by the `$pipeline` object (which must have either a `Pipeline_Id` or `Pipeline_Name` property that represent the ID and name of the pipeline, respectively).
 
    .EXAMPLE
    New-BMRelease -Session $session -Name 'BMA 1.0' -Application 'BuildMasterAutomation' -Number '1.0' -Pipeline 'PowerShellModule'
 
    Demonstrates how to create a release with a custom name. In this example, the release would be named `BMA 1.0`.
