File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 2.0

Notes:
The wait is finally over: the second generation of NSIS, the popular installer
creation system for Windows, is out. Almost 2 years of hard work have gone in
to NSIS 2 since the first alpha was released, but it has all been worth it.
After numerous alphas, betas and release candidates (17 to be exact), each with
more and more features, we feel that NSIS 2 has reached a state where it truly
deserves the major version jump; and we are extremely proud of the result.

Some of the delights that await you are: a modern user interface, an easier
plug-in system, better file compression, and multiple languages. Every pre-
release of NSIS 2 has seen the number of applications using NSIS grow, and they
can't all be wrong.

We would like to thank everyone who has pitched in ideas, submitted patches,
reported bugs, written new plug-ins, created pages in the Archive, and
generally spread the word about NSIS 2.

"It's great, it's here, its been and will be fun."
