DXA framework NuGet packages dependent on CIL artifacts
Starting from version 1.3, the framework for SDL Digital Experience Accelerator (DXA) is distributed through NuGet.
In the previous version, DXA framework NuGet packages, Sdl.Dxa.Framework.2013SP1 and Sdl.Dxa.Framework.Web8, were not dependent on the CIL package that shipped with SDL Web 8. As a result, to use the packages you had to manually copy CIL artifacts.
In DXA 1.4, if you are working with SDL Web 8, the manual copy of CIL artifacts is no longer required as DXA framework NuGet packages are now dependent on the CIL package included with Cumulative Update 1 of SDL Web 8.
