Just to keep everyone excited, I think it's the Second Coming

Hmm... I'm not sure I'd use the phrase "Second Coming", but it's certainly going to make a lot of people's days. As Tony and Mike have said, the changes are certainly evolutionary (it's a bit difficult to identify the evolutionary paths for some of the features, though) - but they do make the Empeg Car even more of a pleasure to use than it had previously been, and many of them are things that people have been clamoring for almost since the product was originally released.

Still, when I've had to go back to the 1.0 series of releases (such as testing 1.03), it hasn't been a tragic loss - the thing I've missed most from 1.1/2.0 when I've done so, believe it or not, is the Elapsed/Total time display in "Info: Track". Tony's right, it won't cause a drastic change in the way you use your player (except for those who will start using visuals more because of "Info: Transient"; that might be considered drastic :).
