A special edition, **[CKEditor 4 LTS](https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4-support/)** ("Long Term Support"), is available under commercial terms (["Extended Support Model"](https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4-support/)) for anyone looking to **extend the coverage of security updates and critical bug fixes**. With CKEditor 4 LTS, security updates and critical bug fixes are guaranteed until December 2026. Releases Code ------------- [](#releases-code) This repository contains the official release versions of [CKEditor 4](https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/). 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](https://ckeditor.com/cke4/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](https://ckeditor.com/cke4/builder), so they are optimized and ready to be used in a production environment. Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Developer documentation for CKEditor is available online at: . Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Git clone [](#git-clone) To install one of the available releases, just clone this repository and switch to the respective branch (see next section): ``` git clone -b git://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor4-releases.git ``` ### Git submodule [](#git-submodule) If you are using git for your project and you want to integrate CKEditor, we recommend to add this repository as a [submodule](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules). ``` git submodule add -b git://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-releases.git git commit -m "Added CKEditor submodule in directory." ``` ### Using Package Managers [](#using-package-managers) See the [Installing CKEditor with Package Managers](https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor4/latest/guide/dev_package_managers.html) article for more details about installing CKEditor with [Bower](https://bower.io), [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) and [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/). Repository Structure -------------------- [](#repository-structure) ### Branches [](#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 [](#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.

Take a look at the `samples` directory.
