Shibboleth Developers

The Shibboleth team is pleased to announce the availability of the 
Beta 1, Shibboleth v2.0 This new release includes substantial 
additions to the functionality, including support for the SAML 2 
specification. Information is available at:

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/Announce-Shib-2.0-Beta

Note that this is a beta release; it is NOT suitable for production 
use. There is some documentation in the wiki for the new release, but 
it is not yet complete. Please feel free to help improve the 
situation.

We would like to strongly encourage sites using Shibboleth to install 
the new version in a clean environment and help with testing. The 
more people who use the software, the faster we'll collectively find 
and address the bugs that remain in this release.

We would very strongly encourage people new to Shibboleth to begin by 
using the current stable release, v1.3, rather than the beta release.

When will the final release of v2.0 be available? When we believe it 
is stable. Please help us get to that point, by helping with the 
testing.
