6 This repository contains the official release versions of [CKEditor](http://ckeditor.com).
8 There are four versions for each release — `standard-all`, `basic`, `standard`, and `full`.
9 They differ in the number of plugins that are compiled into the main `ckeditor.js` file as well as the toolbar configuration.
11 See the [comparison](http://ckeditor.com/presets) of the `basic`, `standard`, and `full` installation presets for more details.
13 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.
15 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.
19 Developer documentation for CKEditor is available online at: <http://docs.ckeditor.com>.
25 To install one of the available releases, just clone this repository and switch to the respective branch (see next section):
27 git clone -b <release branch> git://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-releases.git
31 If you are using git for your project and you want to integrate CKEditor, we recommend to add this repository as a
32 [submodule](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules).
34 git submodule add -b <release branch> git://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-releases.git <clone dir>
35 git commit -m "Added CKEditor submodule in <clone dir> directory."

41 ## Repository Structure
45 This repository contains the following branches:
47 - `master` and `latest` – the latest release of the `standard-all` preset (including betas).
48 - `stable` – the latest stable release of the `standard-all` preset (non-beta).
49 - `A.B.x` (e.g. `4.3.x`) – the latest release of the `standard-all` preset in the `A.B` branch.
50 - `(basic|standard|full)/stable` – the latest stable release tag point (non-beta).
51 - `(basic|standard|full)/latest` – the latest release tag point (including betas).
52 - `(basic|standard|full)/A.B.x` (e.g. `basic/4.0.x`) – the latest releases in the `A.B` branch.
56 **Since version 4.3.3** this repository uses the following tag naming rules:
58 - `x.y.z` – contains the `standard-all` editor build, e.g. `4.3.3`, `4.4.0` etc.
59 - `(basic|standard|full)/x.y.z` – contains the editor build with a given preset, e.g. `basic/4.3.3`.
61 The version numbers follow the [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0](http://semver.org/) scheme.
63 Up to version **4.3.2** the tags were released in the following form `x.y[.z]/(basic|standard|full)`.
64 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.
