It's quite amazing that he has released a usable version 2, i know a LOT of people have been waiting for years and it's nothing short of miraculous that he managed to stick with the project.
I do think this statement is worth reading though, since it tells you that you should probably stick with version 1 for a while, and this release is just a preview:
Is this version functional? Yes. Is it better than 1.10? Definitely not.
ps.
Ehtyar -- can you update your topic maybe to be more explicit about what the post is about (i.e. Ollydbg v2 preview release) -- that way people will know to read the post when they see it and better find it in searches, etc.
