Aurora 2.0 is officially here.

Aurora a library for building modern and elegant desktop Compose applications. The two major pillars of this release are:
• A full-featured ribbon container that provides the functionality of the Microsoft Office command bar. It supports regular and contextual ribbon task groups, regular and flow ribbon bands, application menu, taskbar, and anchored command area. It also supports flexible and configurable resizing of the content for ribbon tasks, ribbon bands, and individual ribbon content pieces.
• The full alignment with the changes that went into Radiance in the last year. Aurora 2.0 uses the Chroma color system from the Ephemeral design library, which builds on the core foundations of the Material color utilities.
Among the many other, smaller improvements in this release:
• System color tokens (info, warning, success, error) that can be applied to any element in the UI hierarchy, seamlessly adapting to light and dark skins
• New painters that emulate the appearance of a 3D glass object lit from straight above
• Static and dynamically animated painter overlays
• New determinate circular progress indicator component
• New color selector command button component
• New generic scrollable container
• Generic support for custom commands and popups
• Customizable window title pane buttons
• More presentation options for comboboxes
• Sticky command button panel group labels
• Full support for radial gradients in transcoded SVG images
Onwards to 2026!
