 <p>
 Apache Derby is a pure Java relational database engine using standard SQL and
 JDBC as its APIs. More information about Derby can be found on the
 <a href="http://db.apache.org/derby/">Apache web site</a>.
 Derby functionality includes:
 </p>


 <ul>

 <li>Embedded engine with JDBC drivers</li>

 <li>Network Server</li>

 <li>Network client JDBC drivers</li>

 <li>Command line tools: ij (SQL scripting), dblook (schema dump) and sysinfo (system info)</li>

 </ul>


 <p>
 Support for Java SE 8 is being sunsetted and will not be supported by the next (10.15) release family. The 10.14 release family supports the following Java and JDBC versions:
 </p>

 <ul>

 <li>Java SE 8 and higher with JDBC 4.2.</li>

 <li>Java SE 8 compact profile 2.</li>

 </ul>

 <li>
 <b>Branch</b> - Source code came from the 10.14 branch.</li>
 <li>
 <b>Machine</b> - Mac OSX 10.11.5.</li>
 <li>
 <b>Ant</b> - Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.2 compiled on July 8 2013.</li>
 <li>
 <b>Compiler</b> - All classes were compiled by the javac from the 1.8.0_101 JDK, Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode).</li>
 </ul>

 <a name="Verifying Releases"></a>Verifying Releases</h2>
 <div>


 <p>It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded
 files using the PGP and MD5 signatures.  MD5 verification ensures the
 file was not corrupted during the download process.  PGP verification
 ensures that the file came from a certain person.</p>


 <p>The PGP signatures can be verified using
 <a href="http://www.pgpi.org/">PGP</a> or
 <a href="http://www.gnupg.org/">GPG</a>.
 First download the Apache Derby
 <a href="https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/db/derby/KEYS">KEYS</a>
 as well as the <code>asc</code> signature file for the particular
 distribution. It is important that you get these files from the ultimate
 trusted source - the main ASF distribution site, rather than from a mirror.
 Then verify the signatures using ...</p>


 <pre>
 % pgpk -a KEYS
 % pgpv db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

 <em>or</em>

 % pgp -ka KEYS
 % pgp db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

 <em>or</em>

 % gpg --import KEYS
 % gpg --verify db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

 </pre>


 <p>To verify the MD5 signature on the files, you need to use a program
 called <code>md5</code> or <code>md5sum</code>, which is
 included in many unix distributions.  It is also available as part of
 <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html">GNU
 Textutils</a>.  Windows users can get binary md5 programs from <a href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/">here</a>, <a href="http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/">here</a>, or
 <a href="http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/">here</a>.</p>


 <p>We strongly recommend that you verify your downloads with both PGP and MD5.</p>
