One week after the release of XF2 Beta 1, we are now ready to release our second beta, both of XenForo 2 and the official XenForo 2 add-ons.
Much attention has been paid to the feedback we've received regarding the upgrade process, and we've worked hard to mitigate various problems that have been reported, so hopefully the upgrade process will be smoother this time around.
We've also been busy squishing bugs, and many of the more serious or pressing issues have been resolved.
You won't find much in the way of new features in this release, as we are concentrating on getting the code to the point where it can be declared stable rather than adding new stuff, but one exception to this in in the Quick Thread system, where it is now possible to attach files without having to visit the full editor page.
Once again, please pay attention to the following warnings:
XenForo 2.0 is a significant upgrade from 1.x. Add-ons and customizations made for XenForo 1.x will not be compatible. Style customizations will need to be redone and will not be maintained after the upgrade. We strongly recommend you make a backup before attempting an upgrade.
This is beta software. It is not officially supported. We do not recommend running it in production.
All customers with active licenses may now download the new version from the customer area.

Requirements
Important: please do not attempt to use 2.0.0 Beta 1 versions of the official add-ons with XenForo 2.0.0 Beta 2 (or higher). If you choose to use the beta/release candidate releases, you should always use the most recent version of all components.
Please note that XenForo 2.0 has higher system requirements than XenForo 1.x. We will be updating the requirements test script in the near future to reflect this. The following are minimum requirements:
Installation and Upgrade Instructions for XenForo 2.0
Full details for how to install and upgrade XenForo can be found in the XenForo Manual. While XenForo 2 has a different appearance compared to XenForo 1, the installation and upgrade process is largely unchanged.
Installation, Upgrading and Configuration of Add-ons
To upgrade or install these add-ons, you should upload the contents of the upload folder (not the upload folder itself) to the root XenForo directory. It is important that the files you upload are "merged" with the existing files on your server; no files on the server should be deleted as part of your upload.
Once uploaded, head to the add-ons section of your control panel. The add-ons should be listed as installable or upgradable. If they are not, please confirm that you uploaded them to the correct location.
Please remember that this is beta software. It contains known bugs and incomplete functionality. We do not recommend or support running beta software in a production environment. Support for beta releases is limited to questions here on the community forums.
