A few features are still in progress and some API methods/properties might still change (though most of the functionality is stable). We can't say exactly when the full 2.0 release will be available, it might be pushed back if we find incompatibilities with upcoming minor Ext JS 4 releases that have been announced (4.0.4, 4.0.5). Based on the feedback we receive from this early alpha, we will work hard to stabilize the code base to release a beta in the next few weeks. We very much need your help now to test this release and to report any bugs you find.
We have setup a new public bug tracker which will improve the bug tracking and reporting process, check it out here: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/bryntum/support/tickets
Another thing we are excited about is our new automated build/release system. This will ensure higher quality in our releases, and also enable us to push out minor releases more often. More information coming when this is ready for launch.
