For people wanting to use the serial package, we don't include the rxtx.jar library in the releases, as it's under a LGPL license. Please download it from http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Download or add the associated dependency in your maven pom.xml :

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.rxtx</groupId>
  <artifactId>rxtx</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.7</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

## Older versions Older versions can be found [on https://archive.apache.org/dist/mina/](https://archive.apache.org/dist/mina/) # 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-2.1.3.tar.gz.asc

or

$ pgp -ka KEYS $ pgp mina-2.1.3.tar.gz.asc

or

$ gpg --import KEYS $ gpg --verify mina-2.1.3.tar.gz.asc # Previous Releases The previous releases can be found on [https://archive.apache.org/dist/mina/](https://archive.apache.org/dist/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:
<major>.<minor>.<micro>[-milestone number> or -RC<release candidate number>]
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:
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 - 2.0.0 -> 2.0.1 ->; 2.0.2 ->; 2.1.3-M1 ...
Please note that we always specify the micro number, even if it's zero.
