   Hi, I am happy to announce that cocos2d v2.0-beta is available for download:

   * cocos2d-iphone-2.0-beta.tar.gz

   Highlights from v2.0-alpha:
   - Forward-ported changes from v1.1 (batched particles, faster reorder, ARC compatible, and more)
   - Improved draw internal API
   - Added alignment + multiline in LabelBMFont
   - Added "Milliseconds per frame" in Director
   - Improved internal GL cache
   - and more

   Full Changelog: https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone/blob/release-2.0-beta/CHANGELOG

   v2.0 Mini FAQ:

   Q: Should I use v2.0 or v1.0
   A: It depends on your requirements, and varies from case to case.
   A: If you need to support older devices (1st & 2nd generation iPhones) you should use cocos2d v1.x
   A: v2.0 is about supporting new technologies (blocks, OpenGL ES 2.0, etc) and improving the current API, while cocos2d v1.x is about backward compatibility.

   Q: How stable is v2.0-beta
   A: From a code point of view, it is pretty stable. At Zynga, we have just released a game using cocos2d v2.0 (DreamZoo)
   A: But from an API point of view, you should know that the API is still not stable. It might change a bit until v2.0-final is released.

   Q: When v2.0-final will be released
   A:Most probably during Q1 2012, perhaps in February.

   Riq not sure but is the iPhone 3GS be supported on v2.0? I'm working on a project where the client is providing me only 2048px wide textures so I'm only supporting 3GS onwards.

   EDIT: Ignore, yes, 3GS supports openGL ES 2.0

   Thanks Riq.

   I just migrate 1.0 -> 2.0

   but I found something(maybe bug)

   //Pre added CCSprite *sprite and setFlipX
   if( sprite.flipX == YES){
   //Do something
   }else if(sprite.flipX == NO){
   //Do something else
   }

   If I use "flipX" in "If" code, It doesn't work.(after migration)
   especially "flipX == YES"

   before that, I think "sprite's flipX" doesn't setting correctly. even if I'm using "setFlipX" method.

   How can I fix it?

   Thanks again to your efforts.

   @Firstmage:
   Could you create a ticket in the issue tracker with the code to reproduce it ?

   Thanks.
