jboss application server newbie question


I am starting to learn JBoss.
Went to the download page http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads.html but I can not understand what is the official version i.e. GA.
There is 7.0.0.Alpha1 6.0.0.CR1 6.0.0.M5 6.0.0.M4 etc
I am not sure what each version is about (What does M* or CR1 mean?)
Can someone help me please?
Which version should I download?

Thanks


Solution

  • M means a milestone - an important step which is achieved in a project. CR is candidate release. That means it is still not completely validated(it is not yet GA). Read here for more detailed explanation.

    You should download the latest milestone release in my opinion.
