+## 🚨 Breaking Changes
+
+Aurelia 2 Beta 24 introduces important breaking changes, but as always, we've got you covered with the details below.
+
+### **Vite Plugin: Vite v6 Support**
+- The Vite plugin now requires Vite v6. Update your project dependencies accordingly.  
+[Commit](https://github.com/aurelia/aurelia/commit/5834d05)
+
+### **Templating: Controller Host Removal**
+- We've changed how Aurelia handles custom element hosts: if a host is already tied to another custom element, Aurelia won't create a new one. This mostly helps you avoid surprises/magic behaviors.
+[Commit](https://github.com/aurelia/aurelia/commit/402c746)
+
+### **DOM: Toggle $au and $aurelia**
+- You can now hide the `$au` and `$aurelia` properties on DOM elements. If you want to make it harder for others to poke around or reverse engineer your app's internals, this is for you.  
+[Commit](https://github.com/aurelia/aurelia/commit/7e1057b)
+
+### **Type-Checking: Non-Public Members**
+- Type-checking now supports non-public members, improving tooling and developer experience.  
+[Commit](https://github.com/aurelia/aurelia/commit/165c213)
+
+### **Documentation: New Tutorials & Guides**
+- Tutorials for integrating Svelte, building with AI, creating a weather app, using web workers, websockets, and advanced list rendering and lambda expressions are now available.  
+[Commit](https://github.com/aurelia/aurelia/commit/583d98d)
+

+
+## ✨ New Features
+
+### **Multiple `.class` Values in Templates**
+- The template compiler now supports multiple `.class` values, making it easier to manage dynamic classes. The docs have also been updated to reflect this new behavior.
+[Commit](https://github.com/aurelia/aurelia/commit/3b7513a)
+
+### **Router-Lite: Navigation Strategy**
+- New navigation strategy support in `router-lite` enables more flexible routing scenarios.  
+[Commit](https://github.com/aurelia/aurelia/commit/6a7757f)
+
+### **DOM: Toggle $au and $aurelia**
+- You can now toggle the `$au` and `$aurelia` properties on DOM elements. This feature is designed to allow applications to make it harder to poke into or reverse engineer the view model/component trees of an Aurelia application. Some apps may wish to hide these properties completely for security or privacy reasons.

+- Type-checking now supports non-public members, improving tooling and developer experience.
