Versioning for vega / vega-lite / vega-embed

I am trying to set up a basic environment to use vega-lite - which requires vega and vega-embed.

It appears that vega-lite-1.3.1 and vega-2.6.5 were happy together: these are the versions apparently in use on the older vega-lite editor here: http://vega.github.io/vega-editor/?mode=vega

But what about vega-embed ? I tried the same version vega-embed-2.6.5 but it gets 404 https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vega-embed/2.6.5/vega-embed.js

So how are the versions of vega-lite / vega / vega-embed related

The versions of Vega, Vega-Lite, and Vega-Embed are not exactly in sync.

Vega 2, Vega-Lite 1, and Vega-Embed 2 are compatible. So are Vega 3, Vega-Lite 2, and Vega-Embed 3.

Vega-Lite only requires Vega for rendering. Vega-Embed is a helper library for Vega and Vega-Lite to make embedding into web apps or web pages easier.

You can find instructions on the individual websites. For example for Vega-Lite, check https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/usage/embed.html.
