During the development of the console the project have been in syncronization with the development branch of Drupal 8.

This make sense at the begining of the project when Drupal 8 was in Alpha state.

Since DrupalCon Amsterdam Drupal Beta 01 version has been released for testing and feedback and after some discussion with David Flores the other co-maintainer of the project we decide to keep the project in syncronization with Drupal Beta releases.

The current release of Drupal 8 is Beta 02.

What does this mean to the development of the project ?

Related to code changes this was an easy step just an update the composer.json file.

...
-    "twig/twig": "1.16.*",
+    "twig/twig": "1.15.*",
...
   },
    "require-dev": {
...
-   "drupal/drupal": "8.0.x-dev",
+   "drupal/drupal": "8.0.0-beta2",
...
   },
...

Why are we doing this ?

Make easier for anyone trying to test the console project, since they do not need to keep in sync with every single release and use a bleeding edge version of Drupal 8.
