Hey Christian, Yes, it is just a tag and definitely not meant to be an official release since we have not done any work on getting that set up yet. I agree that should be the next thing we work on here.
It was published to https://npmjs.org/package/ripple-emulator this was established prior to the official move to ASF. Can you please have a look and let me know if the naming and such will cause issues (we can change it easily). This npm package is used by the Cordova CLI and that's why we needed to publish the update. I have time to work on this over the next 2 weeks to try and line things up so that we're not doing anything that would be considered wrong within the ASF. Thanks, Dan.
