 What's new in this release?

-
-Why is it called version 2.0?
------------------------------
-
-While Pythoneers have grown fond of Python's exceedingly slow version
-incrementing, that same quality makes parts of the rest of the world
-think that Python is barely out of its first alpha test.  Especially
-enterprise customers are often fearful of anything that's version 1.x!
-The new version number also clearly marks departure of Python's core
-development team from CNRI to join BeOpen.com.
-
-What happened to Python 1.6?  It was promoted and renamed Python 2.0.
-There were two alpha releases of Python 1.6 before we decided to
-increment the major version number.
-
-Previously, the version number 2.0 was associated with a mythical and
-elusive incompatible future release.  That release (still ways off,
-and not as incompatible as people fear!) is now referred to as Python
-3000.
