It's release Tuesday again so we're pushing out incremental patches to our libraries. As usual, the change log is below for those who like to stay up to date on all the details. As we approach our Release Candidate, some of our libraries are available in a "pre-release" form now too.

Pre-releases

Several of Aurelia's latest library updates are marked as "Pre-release" with a "beta.2" version designation. These libraries contain breaking changes which will be part of the upcoming Release Candidate happening in June. You won't get these breaking change versions by installing via jspm or npm. They are only available through Github releases for now. This is to ensure that there are no surprises for you until you are absolutely ready. If you desire, you can begin planning now. Below is a list of the affected libraries, along with a summary of the changes involved.

aurelia-templating

• The pre-release version of templating contains our new Shadow DOM v1 Slot implementation. This replaces the previous <content>-based, v0 mechanism.
• Since we have a dedicated aurelia-testing library, the test helpers for TemplatingEngine#createControllerForUnitTest and TemplatingEngine#createViewModelForUnitTest have been removed. These scenarios our now covered by the ComponentTester in aurelia-testing.

aurelia-templating-resources

• Now that we have the new Slots mechanism in templating, there's no longer a need for the replaceable custom attribute. This attribute was used to mark arbitrary parts of an element's template as replaceable by the consumer. This can now be accomplished with Shadow DOM Slot Fallback Content. The part replacement mechanism is still in place in templating though, since it's needed for replacing the template controller templates, such as if, repeat, etc. For these scenarios, you only need add a part attribute to template controller's element.
• Since we have a dedicated aurelia-testing library, the view-spy and compile-spy custom attributes have been moved out of aurelia-templating-resources and into the aurelia-testing library.

Notables

• The Router Lifecycle now works with both Promises and Rx Observables.
• TypeScript Skeletons have been updated to use the new Typings implementation.
• Skeleton Karma configurations have been updated to work OOTB with more complex project structures and with our new aurelia-testing library.
