Here's a draft of the 2.0 announcement. I want to hold off announcing 2.0 until I'm sure I've got the change log right. It's kind of hard tracking down all the changes we've made since 2.0 and I'm sure I'm missing important stuff. Please let me know if you want to add anything.
Also it looks like changes have been entered in two places. changes.xml and status.xml together with the branch and head that makes 4 places. I'll have to look at fixing that.
My hope is that we can kill the branch as soon as possible and get a much faster release cycle going (even if it means less changes with each release).
