Re: [amber-lang] Amber 0.13 released!

Hi!

After three months of development we are happy to announce the release
of Amber 0.13.1 (skipping 0.13.0 for technical reasons). The team has
once again been busy improving Amber to make it rock more than ever!

With 172 commits, this release brings several important improvements as
well as the usual bug fixes.

Highlights:

* Reworked cleaner DNU handling in core.
* `amber init` fully embraced as the way to create new project.
* Helios IDE is extracted and is now a project on its own.
  * It is included as dev-dependency in any new project by default.
* Movable data out of index.html:
  * list of production packages in deploy.js;
  * list of development packages in devel.js;
  * project amd mappings in local.amd.json;
  * libraries' amd mappings in lib_directory.amd.json.
* 'Batteries included' deployment via `grunt deploy`.
* 0.13.1 because of technical issues w/ 0.13.0 release process.

Is Amber now creating a single

YES.

Do

       amber init

to create a project 0.13 style.

This creates among a lot of other files a Gruntfile.js (http://gruntjs.com/).

With

     grunt deploy

on the command line
your project is transmogrifyed into a single JavaScript file called 'the.js'.

This means for deployment you only need

        index.html and the.js

'the.js' contains only JavaScript. No Smtk sources.

A crucial feature to actually use Amber in projects.

So for me this is a much larger mile stone than the modest 0.13
version number implies.
