Changes:
The update notifications feature that made its
first appearance in 2.0.0.5pre is installed. When
a new version is available, you will be notified

improvements were done. Automatic detection of
plugins is done in common directories in the file
system. A few more build tweaks were made. The
“Release Notes” option in the Help section brings
up the release notes.
