vs2008 new WebSite Release config missing

It seems whenever I create new Web Site projects in VS2008, there is only a
Debug configuration available, not Release. Is this a bug or by design?
Upgraded Web Sites (from 2005) show both. So do "Web Application" projects
(I still don't really understand the pros and cons of using one over the
other... except Web App projects have much nice IDE integration-- but thats
a different topic, I guess). Any clues? I'm a little confused. TIA.

Re: vs2008 new WebSite Release config missing

You set the version (Release/Debug) by setting
in web.config.

If set to "true", you get a Debug compilation.
If set to "false", you get a Release compilation.
