"Any news on the 2.0 release? I looked at the mailing lists, but they seem to have petered out 8 months ago."

At some point I hope to pick up where I left off on the documentation, maybe work on a few bugs, and then report out a nominal version 2.0. However I don't personally envision working on Advokit beyond that. Both politics and technology have moved a fair distance from where they were in 2003 when Advokit was started.

Advokit development since 2004 has been almost entirely a solo effort, with no pay and little community feedback and support. However, if anyone wants to try their hand at designing and coding improvements to Advokit or even taking over the whole project, I will lend all the support I can!

If you're waiting for the official version 2.0 release to try out Advokit, don't! You should go ahead and download the current development version and start using it. No significant changes have been planned between now and the 2.0 release. When and if 2.0 is officially released, you should be able to simply update your existing installation using the installer.
