Fusion 2.0 beta is reasonably stable for most the functionality that was in the 1.1 series of releases. The biggest change is that a <MapGroup> element now allows multiple <Map> elements which can be of any layer type supported by OpenLayers, and this is the part that needs more testing. We will be documenting how to configure that section soon, but the MapGuide standard template includes examples of including WMS and Google layers.

It also uses a new version of Jx based on MooTools rather than the old Prototype version but most of the differences there will be in the CSS for the application. Fusion 2.0 also switches to using OpenLayers vector rendering in place of the excanvas implementation, and I haven't seen any showstopper bugs because of that change yet.

know how you will use the software.  If you don't use it in beta, there
is a strong likelihood that your use of the released product will run
into bugs.
Problems found in the release version may be fixed with a point-release,
but not with any urgency unless they affect a large number of users.

If you want stable release software for your use, then you need to test
it when it's in beta (or earlier).

I saw it, but: how much is stable? I can try to use it but I would like to know it before :)
