>From a functionality point of view not much, it is called "2.0" to
indicate a backward incompatible change in the API it uses (to support
piggy bank 3.0):

 1) made the "generate code after capture" button after a little more
visible [people were complaining they didn't know what to do after they
have captured data]

 2) updated the help files to match the new API

 3) updated the script templates to match the new API

Everything else works pretty much the same.

I would have loved to see David's new autoscraping functionality (as
prototyped in Sifter) but we didn't have time for that. Hopefully after
David has given his talk.
