Zen is currently built using firefox version 133.0.3
! π
- Check out the latest release notes!
- Part of our mission is to keep Zen up-to-date with the latest version of Firefox, so you can enjoy the latest features and security updates!
Zen is an open-source project, and we welcome contributions from the community! Please take a look at the contribution guidelines before getting started!
Zen uses Semantic Versioning for versioning. Meaning, versions are displayed as a.b.c-d.e
where:
a
is the major versionb
is the minor versionc
is the patch versiond
is the branch prefixe
is the build number
Zen is divided into 2 main branches. We use dev
for development and stable
for stable releases. The dev
branch is where all the new features are added and where twilight
builds are generated. The stable
branch is where the stable releases are generated.
We divide into 2 branches in case there's any really important security update (for example) that needs to be released before the next stable release. This allows us to do patches without releasing unstable versions to the public.
Zen is built with performance in mind, and we have optimized the browser to be as fast as possible! Checkout the latest performance benchmarks!
