# Releases

A build server goes through the very lengthy build operation and then new versions are available in this project as [releases](https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases).

Each tag corresponds to a Chromium release tag.

# How to build

The [bromite main repository](https://github.com/bromite/bromite) contains tags for each corresponding Chromium release (see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git).

Please refer to [official Chromium build documentation](https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code) to get started on how to build Chromium; if you can build Chromium for Android, you can build Bromite.
