Amber 2.0.0-beta.3

Amber 2.0.0-beta.3 is the framework release for the database-backed web
application that Amber CLI 2.0.4 generates by default. The supported path now
includes Grant models, SQLite, Micrate migrations, and complete HTML resource
scaffolds instead of stopping at a database-free homepage.

What changed

• Schema controllers parse browser form bodies, including bodies already read
  by routing or CSRF protection.
• Background-job workers can steal queued work without corrupting request
  activity accounting.
• ECR view paths are normalized on Windows.
• The HTML/JSON respond_with behavior is documented with executable examples.

Install and exercise persistence

Install Amber CLI 2.0.4, then generate and migrate a real resource:

brew install amberframework/amber_cli/amber_cli
amber new pet_tracker --type web
cd pet_tracker
shards install
amber generate scaffold Pet name:string:required species:string:required adopted:bool
amber database migrate
crystal spec
amber watch

Open http://localhost:3000/pets. The generated model lives at
src/models/pet.cr, its SQL migration is under db/migrations/, and its ECR
form partial is src/views/pet/_form.ecr.

Amber CLI 2.0.4 ships release archives for Apple Silicon macOS, x86_64 Linux,
and ARM64 Linux. Windows x86_64 generated web applications are compile-gated
in CI; build the CLI from source on Windows for this beta.

See the beta installation guide
and V1 to V2 migration guide.
