No, it is the latest snapshot from the CVS archive for 2.0.x.

glibc1 is glibc 1.0.x, and libc5 based on it. glibc2 is the new
glibc, aka libc.so.6 under Linux. The latest public release of
glibc 2 is 2.0.6. There are some 2.0.7preX, but the real bug
fixes are only in the CVS archive. Since glibc 2.1 should be
released this days, the glibc-maintainer will not make a
public 2.0.7.

Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
