packages for individual platforms and distros will follow shortly.
for your convenience, robert hutton collected build instructions for quite a few distros in our wiki:
https://redmine.darktable.org/projects/darktable/wiki/Building_darktable_20
the changes from rc1 include many minor bugfixes, such as:
- high iso fix for exif data of some cameras
- various macintosh fixes (fullscreen)
- fixed a deadlock
- updated translations
and the preliminary changelog as compared to the 1.6.x series can be found below.
when updating from the currently stable 1.6.x series, please bear in mind that your edits will be preserved during this process, but it will not be possible to downgrade from 2.0 to 1.6.x any more. be careful if you need darktable for production work!
happy 2.0~rc2 everyone :)

Cheers!
That's better than any new feature.

Nothing else, looks like a very sweet new major release!

I tried --enable-geo on the build command line but this didn't help (and the script imples they are set by default).

on how to build the Mac version from source - it seems to be reasonably correct, but I've already spent about 8 hours trying to build from source :)
