Good afternoon everyone! 

Just a short post to advertise the fact that we've just released v2.0.7 of the framework! Please test it out, and let us know what you think :)

A quick summary of what you can look forward to in this version:

  • Better handling of plugin errors (hopefully less 'loading wheel of death's)
  • _isOptional setting no longer cascades to children
  • A new improved grunt process
    • Quicker loading of tasks
    • All tasks/configs have been split into separate files, and hidden away in /grunt
    • New custom LESS compiler (now with added sourcemaps!)
    • New custom JavaScript compiler
    • Various structural changes in preparation for multiple user support in the authoring tool
    • Specific plugins can now be excluded from the build process
    • Added support for code validation/style checking using jshint and jscs
    • The /build folder is now emptied on build

See the release page or the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes.

As ever, if you find any bugs, or have any feature requests, please submit them on GitHub (there's a wiki page with instructions here).
