| Mozc is a Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) designed for multi-platform such as |
| Android OS, Apple OS X, Chromium OS, GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows. This |
| OpenSource project originates from |

| What's Mozc? |
| ------------ |
| For historical reasons, the project name *Mozc* has two different meanings: |
| |
| 1. Internal code name of Google Japanese Input that is still commonly used |
| inside Google. |
| 2. Project name to release a subset of Google Japanese Input in the form of |
| source code under OSS license without any warranty nor user support. |
| |
| In this repository, *Mozc* means the second definition unless otherwise noted. |
| |
| Detailed differences between Google Japanese Input and Mozc are described in [About Branding](doc/about_branding.md). |

| Release Plan |
| ------------ |
| |
| tl;dr. **There is no stable version.** |
| |
| As described in [About Branding](doc/about_branding.md) page, Google does |
| not promise any official QA for OSS Mozc project. Because of this, |
| Mozc does not have a concept of *Stable Release*. Instead we change version |
| number every time when we introduce non-trivial change. If you are |
| interested in packaging Mozc source code, or developing your own products |
| based on Mozc, feel free to pick up any version. They should be equally |
| stable (or equally unstable) in terms of no official QA process. |
| |
| [Release History](doc/release_history.md) page may have additional |
| information and useful links about recent changes. |
