CELstart
 | CELstart provides an environment to easily run self-contained game packages - just download a package and double-click on it. The games are made using scripting (Python and/or XML scripting). If you want some live demos of what CS and CEL can do, download and try CELstart and some packages. See downloads and levels for CELstart. |

Compatibility
The aim is to make all stable releases source-compatible with the previous version. Specifically, projects developed against Crystal Space 1.0 should also build against version 1.2.1. If this should not be the case, please consider to file a bug report.

Download from Subversion
Stable releases are available from Subversion via tags and branches. Tags are created each time a release is made and give the exact same sources as contained in the source archive for a release. The branch for a release however is continuously updated with new bug fixes and changes from the development version, hence the branch may contain fixes that are not present in the latest release of a stable version.
Read Using Subversion for instructions how to download the contents of a directory in the source repository.
The repository path of the latest tagged 1.2.1 release is CS/tags/V1.2.1.
The repository path of the 1.2 branch is CS/branches/release/V1.2.
