The 2.0 release has been long coming. Here are some of the new features:

Highlights:

* HTML admin - Thats right, I gave up. Typo now has a real html admin and you can access most of its features from it. Some minor features are still desktop client only but you can definitely get your blogging fix on vacation now.

* Sophisticated Spam protection. Patrick Lenz ported the most popular Movable Type spam protection weapons right to the typo codebase. Typo ships with more spam protection than most other engines can get with plugins.

* Ajax galore. Comments are posted using Ajax, We also have a live search like google suggest and live textile/markdown preview in the admin.
* Pretty urls (permalinks)

Other feature improvements:

* One-click setup
* Support for non-vhost installations
* Support for multiple authors
* Pagination
* Syndication of 43 Things
* Database backed sessions
* Transition to ActionWebService
* Markdown support
* Migration script for MovableType 3 users
* Extended testing suites

Non code:

Justin Palmer has started working on the Typo visual identity which is due to arrive with the next release (bye bye kubrick)

I would like to thank all the contributors who sent patches and suggestions for this release. Especially I want to thank Patrick Lenz and Seth Hall for the tireless bug fixing and improvement of the code health.

Typo is now 1435 lines of very aesthetic code and is backed up by 1120 lines of tests putting it at a 0:8 ratio.
