versions of Saxon-HE: [10](10), [11](11), and [12](12).

The latest production release of Saxon-HE is [12.9](12).

Saxon 12 is currently considered the most stable and reliable release.

## Older releases

Earlier releases of Saxon-HE 10, 11, and 12 are also available from
this repository, but aren’t packaged as releases. To download ZIP
files from GitHub, navigate to the page for the ZIP file. In some browsers,
there’s an obvious “Download” button, on others, you have to
choose
the “Download raw file”
(<img src="https://github.com/Saxonica/Saxon-HE/blob/main/img/download.png"

      />)
link on the right hand side of the page.

An archive of even older releases and projects of perhaps historical
interest is preserved in the
[Saxon-Archive repository](https://github.com/saxonica/Saxon-Archive).
