The version of monaco-editor displayed on the page is outdated.

As it is not a bug about monaco-editor, I create a discussion instead of issue.

While browsing https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/, I noticed that the latest version displayed on the page is not correctly synchronized with the latest version on GitHub/npm.

For instance, the current latest version of Monaco is 0.57.0, yet the page states: "The latest released version is 0.55.1." (0.55.1 was released on November 21, 2025).

If the page cannot be updated automatically when the project is published, perhaps an alternative method for displaying the version number should be considered?

Thanks.

The homepage number is from the last time that site was built. It is not read from npm when you open the page.

website/src/website/monacoEditorVersion.ts takes the version from monaco-editor/package.json at build time. On main that file is 0.57.0, and npm view monaco-editor version is 0.57.0. The published page still says 0.55.1, so the GitHub Pages build is older than the package.

Install from npm, not from that sentence:

npm install monaco-editor@0.57.0
