Work in progress

Source code repository

You can always find the latest version of AngelScript in the repository on github.com. There you can browse the repository online or download the code for a revision of choice.

Before the move to github in 2025 I used SourceForge.net to hold the repository. It still has the source code up until the release 2.38.0.
