[bigopon]

The aim of the development in Q1 is to resolve all beta & RC related issue, by either implementing or closing/moving the target date to another time, and go for an RC release at the end of the Q1 2024, or latest early Q2 2024.

Issue list:

• Beta: https://github.com/aurelia/aurelia/milestones/v2.0-beta
• RC: https://github.com/aurelia/aurelia/milestones/v2.0-rc

A roadmap and an iteration plan will be provided & updated below for better clarity on the focus of the development.

• au compose synchronize behavior of custom element vs non, add support for string
• element bindable spread syntax
• form actionless behavior on par with v1
• simplify metadata
• static resources registration

• auto infer binding expression
• import[as] in convention plugin

Thank you @bigopon for creating and sharing the roadmap of the best frontend framework ever :)

Would it be possible to include #1480 to RC or Beta as well?
