The major changes of xCP 2.0

The xCelerated Composition Platform version 2 is nearly a new development. There are so many changes between the first and the second version.  Some features are not compatible to the old version. The following table displays the major changes including a small description.

Process DebuggerThe ProcessBuilder Debugger the will not be included in the 2.0 release. Dan said on the Momentum this year that the Debugger must be completely rewritten and this will take some time. But the deployment on the test environment is very fast and should not be a big obstacle.
