Prosody TiNG is supplied in several pieces. This allows you to download only the pieces you require.
The pieces have names in the form
TiNG-$part-$ver.tar.bz2 where
$part is one of the names in the table below for a part of the
distribution and $ver is a code which is specific to each
version. Note that not all variants are currently distributed, but all are
listed here so that you can recognise them in old installations.
The V6 API was introduced to allow much greater flexibility in the API permitting developments such as hot-swap support and Prosody X. It is now the only standard way to use the API, so for every piece you download, if there is a V6 supplement, you need that as well.

In a few cases, a file may be included in more than one piece. Such files are always identical in every piece, so the you always get the same result regardless of the order in which you unpack different pieces.
