The Aura framework project has released a set of updates to several of their packages including the main Aura.Framework and Aura.Demo functionality.

Late last night we released version 1.0.0-beta4 of the full-stack system, which composes all the independent Aura packages into a coherent framework using the Aura.Framework package in a project skeleton. We have extracted the "hello world" portions into their own Aura.Demo package so that it can be removed or disabled when you begin your project. Download it and take it for a spin!

There's been a lot of talk recently about the Aura framework and its "less dependencies, more separate packages" approach to making the framework including these posts from Paul Jones and others.
