The Apache Directory project team is proud to announce the release of MINA,
a network application framework, version 0.9.3.

Apache MINA (Multipurpose Infrastructure for Network Applications) is a
network application framework which helps users develop network applications
easily by providing abstractions of network and protocol I/O layers. The
MINA project website
<http://directory.apache.org/subprojects/network/>includes resources
such as an introductory presentation (PPT
(with animations)
<http://directory.apache.org/subprojects/network/mina.ppt>or PDF
(without animations)<http://directory.apache.org/subprojects/network/mina.pdf>)
and an implementation demo
movie<http://directory.apache.org/subprojects/network/demo.htm>.
Additionally, 6
examples<http://directory.apache.org/subprojects/network/getting_started.html>are
provided to help you learn
MINA even under serious time constraint.
