The Mimer Provider Manager uses a versioning scheme with three digits to represent the version. Every second version is a development version and every other is a release version.

Each version may be installed simultaneously on the same machine supporting side-by-side execution as defined by the Microsoft .NET Framework.

The first development version was called 1.1.0. The release version is called 1.1.1. When 1.1.1 is released a new development version 1.1.2 is created. Each of these versions may be installed in parallell. So when downloading release 1.1.1 you can comfortably install the development version 1.1.2 in parallell. This allows new programs to be tested and new versions of the Provider Manager to be running simultaneously on the same machine.

Each release version uses the public key 90474c83ee7ec777. This key is used by Mimer Information Technology when building the release version. For the development versions a temporary private key is used that is shipped along with the source distribution. The public key for the development version is ccf5603adb8282ac.

If you want to use a different private/public key you need change the following places:

As covered in the section Getting started with the source distribution the different versions may have different public keys. However, subsequent runtime releases (1.1.3, 1.1.5, and so on) will have the same public key as the previous version allowing redirection of assembly versions as supported by the .NET Framework.
