CKEditor 4 - Releases

Releases Code

This repository contains the official release versions of CKEditor.

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 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, 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 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.
