2.0.0 is still the latest release.

CouchDB committers got together very recently (see dev@ thread) to discuss 
roadmap (3.0 and beyond) but also discussed minor release. The release 
engineering team at Cloudant are going to provide some assistance to improve 
CouchDB's release processes (automation, quality, etc), so we should see a 
2.1.0 as an early part of that effort.

Clustered purge is actually quite hard but it is in development so keep an eye 
on the dev@ mailing list. Even when it lands, I think you'll be more interested 
in the "hard" delete feature we discussed at length at the aforementioned 
couchdb summit. In brief, it means that deleting a document in CouchDB 
eventually leads to full disk space reclamation. There's a careful operation to 
perform to know when this is safe to do (we need all indexes and replications 
to have "seen" the delete) and another careful operation to actually remove all 
traces (we'll leverage the clustered purge work for that).

Hope that helps,
