## Application and generator matrix

| Command or surface | Status |
|---|---|
| `amber new APP --type web` | Supported |
| ECR views, homepage, static files, specs, build, launch | Release-gated |
| controller, schema, job, mailer, channel generators | Supported core output |
| migration generator | Supported output; applying SQL needs database tooling |
| model, scaffold, API-resource, auth generators | Preview; persistence-backed |
| `amber new APP --type native` | Preview |
| Grant, Gemma, and Asset Pipeline guides | Preview ecosystem material |

“Preview” means the code can be evaluated, but a clean beta web app is not
promised to compile it without extra dependencies. It does not mean that a
personal fork is an acceptable default dependency.

## Versions

- Amber framework: `2.0.0-beta.2`
- Amber CLI: `2.0.2` or newer
- Crystal: `>= 1.20.0, < 2.0`

New applications pin the framework version exactly. Release documentation must
not substitute `v2-dev`, `master`, or a personal fork for that pin.
