The docs (ckeitor4-docs repo) now use Export to PDF plugin version from ckeditor4-presets. So to update Export to PDF version in docs alone we need to update presets. Since Export to PDF may have separate releases from CKEditor 4 itself, it is not possible now, because stable docs branch should always point to ckeditor4-presets release tag (not current master or major as it will break).

So we either:

The latter one might be simpler to cover, OTOH duplication and easy maintenance usually doesn't go well together... :thinking:

Eventually we may decide that Export to PDF should be only released during CKEditor 4 release. For features and breaking changes it's a good idea and makes sense IMHO, however it creates a visible delay in shipping new versions of the plugin which is not desired for big fixes. So it should be still possible to release patch versions separately.

Considering the above, we may also just accept the fact the docs will have latest minor version (instead of patch one) and will be updated during upcoming CKEditor 4 release.
