It's been over 11 years since the release of KallistiOS 2.0.0 and since then so much has changed. Too much to easily describe. Below you'll find a shortlist of new functionality, and in the doc folder you can find a comprehensive changelog and more verbose release notes.
Though this release has kept with the tradition of 'once a decade', we hope to more regularly release minor versions from now on to help users move away from the instability of daily builds.
