I've put together a list of features and known issues for Toaster 2.0.
People of the mailing list: if I've missed something, please add it.

Thanks!

Belén

FEATURES:

* Improved performance and reliability: Toaster now builds almost anything
you throw at it
* Simplified setup process: get Toaster up and running with a single
command
* Support for Z shell (zsh)
* New project UI with better navigation and layout
* Improved layer dependency handling: Toaster will now retrieve and
display second-level layer dependencies
* Separate list of image recipes: available images are now easier to find
and build

KNOWN ISSUES:

* Toaster always uses the same tmp directory, which causes builds to fail
if you create projects for different Yocto Project releases
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7880


* It is not possible to download build logs when using Toaster in analysis
mode
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8373

* Toaster does not show SDK build artifacts (so you cannot download them)
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7603

* We have a couple of misbehaving links ... Well, maybe more than a couple

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8037
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8527

* Reporting of build progress could be in better shape
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8242
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8328

* There are some data presentation problems in the variable history
information

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8189
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8190

* Selecting more than one recipe to build from the 'Most built recipes'
list fails
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8450

* It is not possible to add an image type in Toaster
