None at all. However, 2.0 is no different than 1.93 featurewise, so
feel free to continue using your 1.93 installation until the release
of 2.1 later this year. How do I know? I'm on
the beta test team for 2.0. It's a total re-write from the ground up
in a different variant of C using a different compiler, so all the
Windows stuff, while functionally identical, has different window
class names, control ID's, etc., so none of the old JFW-provided
scripts work.
According to the beta team, the next significant release of Agent
with features above and beyond those already available in 1.93 will
be third quarter best effort. So unless you feel like doing the
re-write of all those scripts, stick with 1.93 until 2.1 comes out
and is some way toward being stable.
However, this should be a wake-up call to the script-writing teams at
SF/HJ to get going, if they haven't already, and start re-engineering
these things so that when 2.1 *does* come out and the new features
start geting implemented, that we'll still be able to use what even
now without the new 2.1 features is, in my unhumble opinion, the best
news and email client anywhere.
