CKEditor 4 - Releases

=====================

## Releases Code

This repository contains the official release versions of [CKEditor](http://ckeditor.com).

There are four versions for each release — `standard-all`, `basic`, `standard`, and `full`.

They differ in the number of plugins that are compiled into the main `ckeditor.js` file as well as the toolbar configuration.

See the [comparison](http://ckeditor.com/presets) of the `basic`, `standard`, and `full` installation presets for more details.

The `standard-all` build includes all official CKSource plugins with only those from the `standard` installation preset compiled into the `ckeditor.js` file and enabled in the configuration. 

All versions available in this repository were built using [CKBuilder](http://ckeditor.com/builder), so they are optimized and ready to be used in a production environment.

## Repository Structure

### Branches

This repository contains the following branches:

  - `master` and `latest` – the latest release of the `standard-all` preset (including betas).

  - `stable` – the latest stable release of the `standard-all` preset (non-beta).

  - `A.B.x` (e.g. `4.3.x`) – the latest release of the `standard-all` preset in the `A.B` branch.

  - `(basic|standard|full)/stable` – the latest stable release tag point (non-beta).

  - `(basic|standard|full)/latest` – the latest release tag point (including betas).

  - `(basic|standard|full)/A.B.x` (e.g. `basic/4.0.x`) – the latest releases in the `A.B` branch.

### Tags

**Since version 4.3.3** this repository uses the following tag naming rules:

  - `x.y.z` – contains the `standard-all` editor build, e.g. `4.3.3`, `4.4.0` etc.

  - `(basic|standard|full)/x.y.z` – contains the editor build with a given preset, e.g. `basic/4.3.3`.

The version numbers follow the [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0](http://semver.org/) scheme.

Up to version **4.3.2** the tags were released in the following form `x.y[.z]/(basic|standard|full)`.

For example: `4.0/basic`, `4.0.1/standard`. This convention was changed in CKEditor 4.3.3 to conform to the Semantic Versioning scheme.
