Not wanting to spam you all every time we release a new alpha update for Aurelia 2, we have been consolidating multiple release notes (as you might have noticed the last couple of updates).
In releases 17, 18, 19 and now 20, we have been focused on extensive refactoring work to solidify the underlying core of Aurelia and dependencies. We have put out 20 releases (and counting) of Aurelia 2 alpha because we want to ensure that the core is stable as we move into beta. We want to avoid any significant breaking changes in beta releases (and up) in the spirit of proper versioning.
Alpha 20
The au-slot element
now works with the
allowing you to clean your markup by removing unnecessary HTML elements from the DOM.
The router now supports component factories
. Similarly to other routing libraries, you might be familiar with the syntax: component: () => import('./my-component') on the route allowing your routes to be split and lazily loaded using bundlers like Webpack.
Alpha 19
In this release, we primarily worked on the store plugin , fixing numerous bugs reported.
Alpha 18
We introduced
quite a significant new feature
in alpha 18 (did you notice?) that now allows attribute capturing and spreading using the new ...$attrs syntax.
With this new feature, we can relay attributes from a parent element to the children inside of it. And because Aurelia 2 has good documentation, we have an entire section dedicated to this new functionality here .

Until next time
As always, we want to thank the community for their continued support, and we can't wait to finally get Aurelia 2 out there into the wild in its more completed form.
