@ Everyone here
One of the big things all the community members, myself included, wanted from the eBox devs for the 2.0 release was solidifying the current working set of features. We had all had our problems with eBox through betas and supported versions, especially the LDAP feature, and many people, while most wanting something like Zimbra, said that the best thing for eBox is for it to be better at what it advertises.
Keeping this in mind, I'm not the least bit let down by knowing there's hardly anything new in 2.0 because I've already seen the benefits of upgrading to Lucid from Hardy. I also notice a lot of neat changes to the Dashboard which make it a bit more dynamic both visually and in how it updates. It's like tuning a computer, you do all of these little changes like clean out the fans, get better graphics card heatsinks, and other things, but in most cases, your case is closed, there is no window, and all of that goes unseen. There were no new features, nothing, you just have a better-running system, and this is what eBox 2.0 is. I'm surprised there are new features at all. Also, the 1.4 release had some features added along the way like adapter bridging and RADIUS (hopefully I'm assuming right here).
What might not be a current feature but might come along in 2.0 is the ability to bridge the OpenVPN virtual adapter. That is not a huge new feature or module, but it will add on to the current one. The same goes for HTTPS in Web Server (I needed this for 2 years) and the Jabber and Mail modules. It's all little things that come together. Yet another little one is userspace l7protos so you can traffic shape on the packet-level without having to use an ebox-custom kernel that might be a version or two behind the newest kernel release. So many nice neat features. Think of it like upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7; it's practically the same operating system, but a lot of little things were changed.
