| # Verify the integrity of the files |
| |
| The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the [KEYS](https://www.apache.org/dist/mina/KEYS) as well as the asc signature file for the relevant distribution. Then verify the signatures using: |
| |
| $ pgpk -a KEYS |
| $ pgpv mina-2.0.21.tar.gz.asc |
| |
| or |
| |
| $ pgp -ka KEYS |
| $ pgp mina-2.0.21.tar.gz.asc |
| |
| or |
| |
| $ gpg --import KEYS |
| $ gpg --verify mina-2.0.21.tar.gz.asc |

| # Previous Releases |
| |
| The previous releases can be found [here](https://archive.apache.org/dist/mina/) and [here](https://archive.apache.org/dist/mina/mina/). Please note that the following releases contains a LGPL licensed file, rxtx-2.1.7.jar: 2.0.0-M4, 2.0.0-M5, 2.0.0-M6, 2.0.0-RC1. |

| # Version Numbering Scheme |
| |
| The version number of MINA has the following form: |
| |
| <DIV class="info" markdown="1"> |
| <major>.<minor>.<micro> \[-M<milestone number> or -RC<release candidate number>] |
| </DIV> |
| |
| This scheme has three number components: |
| |
| * The __major__ number increases when there are incompatible changes in the API. |
| * The __minor__ number increases when a new feature is introduced. |
| * The __micro__ number increases when a bug or a trivial change is made. |
| |
| and an optional label that indicates the maturity of a release: |
| |
| * __M__ (Milestone) means the feature set can change at any time in the next milestone releases. The last milestone release becomes the first release candidate after a vote. |
| * __RC__ (Release Candidate) means the feature set is frozen and the next RC releases will focus on fixing problems unless there is a serious flaw in design. The last release candidate becomes the first GA release after a vote. |
| * No label implies __GA__ (General Availability), which means the release is stable enough and therefore ready for production environment. |
| |
| MINA is not a stand-alone software, so 'the feature set' here also includes the API of the newly introduced features and the overall architecture of the software, |
| |
| Here's an example that illustrates how MINA version number increases: |
| |
| <DIV class="info" markdown="1"> |
| 2.0.0-M1 -> 2.0.0-M3 -> 2.0.0-M3 -> 2.0.0-M4 -> 2.0.0-RC1 -> 2.0.0-RC2 -> 2.0.0-RC3 -> <B>2.0.0</B> -> 2.0.1 -> 2.0.2 -> 2.1.0-M1 ... |
| </DIV> |
| |
| Please note that we always specify the micro number, even if it's zero. |
