title: Maven Versions Description
body: <p>I was making some changes to the POM of my project and noticed that they had some new versions of the MySQL connector, but I could not understand what the abbreviations meant after each version.</p>
  
  <p>As in the example below, <code>rc</code> and <code>dmr</code> what do they mean? Do you have a link to the documentation for these abbreviations?</p>
