We have a bunch of new features implemented in this version:

Passcode Security
Cover Downloader
Game Wallpapers
Asset Importer
Screen Capture Viewer
Plugin Settings Revamp
Utility Scripts

Passcode Security

You can now set a profile specific passcode and special permissions for different types of actions in Aurora.

Cover Downloader

A new menu entry in the Game Details allows you to select a specific Cover from XboxUnity.

Game Wallpapers

Many of you probably know that while you are in the game details for a specific game, you can press the 'BACK' button to view the background with no UI blocking your view; however, we have now added the ability to set that artwork as your dash background.

Asset Importer

Assets (Covers, Backgrounds, Descriptions, etc) can now be imported from the import folder on the Xbox360 harddriveWe have added a method to import assets from an import folder on your Xbox360 harddrive, allowing you to update, replace or add images and text to your games library and fill out your game details without relying on an internet connection.

Screen Captures

Another menu entry in the Game Details allows you to view your Freestyle Plugin screen captures from within Aurora. From this menu you can even set your screen capture as your default Aurora background.

Plugin Settings

Plugin settings are now in one menu entry in the Settings Menu. The settings are also rearranged to make it more user friendly.

Utility Scripts

The biggest feature added to 0.6b is the possibility to create "Utility Scripts". Utility scripts are self-contained LUA applications that can be launched from within Aurora. A repo browser is included that lets you download some scripts from GitHub, including a Disc to GOD script and a Weather script.
