EMBER APP KIT
Fire up a new Ember app easier than ever. Ember App Kit gives you a testing framework, Grunt tasks, and scaffold generators. This is going to make every Ember developers’ life significantly easier. In the future this will be rolled into Ember.js core. Link to the Ember App Kit.
EMBER INSPECTOR
Already in the Chrome App store, the Ember Inspector extension will let you see what your Ember app is doing in production or your development environment. You can also use the inspector on other site’s Ember apps as well. Three cheers for easier debugging of your Ember app! Link to the Ember Inspector.
EMBER COMPONENTS
Lets you create your own application-specific HTML tags. W3C is doing something similar with Web Components and the Ember team is trying to stick to the standard set by W3C. In the future when the standard is set you will be able to migrate to Web Components with ease. Read more about Ember Components in the official docs.
1,733 LINES OF NEW DOCUMENTATION
In the past, Ember documentation has been painfully lacking. With the addition of massive amounts of new documentation, learning to develop Ember should be a lot quicker. Link to the Ember guides.
