Releases

Release state without version theater.

Aura’s repository currently carries a `0.2.0` workspace version, a `2026` edition concept, component-specific versions and historical milestone documents that use later labels. This page separates those namespaces and describes the intended release channels without pretending a stable GA artifact already exists.

Channels

Stability should be promoted, not declared.

Nightly

iteration

Automated builds from main may move quickly and can contain unstable behavior.

Beta

candidate

Release candidates for the next stable line with more constrained breaking changes and stronger smoke validation.

Stable

policy target

Tagged releases with explicit compatibility expectations once CI, installers, release notes and regression gates justify promotion.

Current release truth

The site does not call Aura v1.0 stable.

aura-pkg1.0.0Component version, not whole-language GA.

Historical milestonesv0.3 / v1.0Planning/subsystem milestone language, not a unified stable release.

Promotion evidence

What a stable promotion should prove.

workspace + compatibility CI genuinely green
trusted-core baseline intentional and reviewed
artifact/installer smoke tests pass
release notes and version contract written
no known backend/proof regressions in the stable scope

Artifacts

SDK, Sentinel and VSIX are release outputs, not assumptions.

Repository release tooling knows how to stage portable SDK and Sentinel-related artifacts. The public website should expose binary download CTAs only after those files are actually published and integrity metadata is available.
