You may have thought we'd be taking it easy after our big Seam 2.0 release a few weeks ago, but we've been hard at work getting ready for 2.0.1. It's almost ready, so we're releasing CR1 today. (download release notes docs)
Seam 2.0.1 is largely a maintenance release addressing bugs and feature requests from Seam 2.0 users. The biggest new feature to report is that JBoss Tools now supports Seam 2. If we've done our jobs well, you won't notice the difference on the Seam side, but we've been jumping through hoops behind the scenes to make sure your Seam IDE experience is, well, seamless. Check it out if you haven't yet. I guarantee you'll be impressed with it.
If you are a 2.0 user, please give 2.0.1 CR1 a whirl and let us know how it's working. As always, send feedback to the forums and bug reports in JIRA.
As Norman says, this release mainly addresses issues from 2.0.0.GA, but there are a few new features worth mentioning:
Does the release of JBoss Tools 2.0.0.GA work with Seam 2.0.0.GA or do you need Seam 2.0.1.CR1 to make things seamless?
The EAR test issue should now be fixed.
During the fixes for .1 we found some issues with the location or .drl and drools jars - for that we need to update jboss tools. But all this is minor and easy manually fixable; see this jira
