2.0 was meant to be released at the start of the year. That didn't happen and I've got no idea what the current schedule is, sorry. If you ask on the Sourceforge forums, Simon or Brian might be able to fill you in.

Is there any news on when the 2.0 branch will be formally released?
I'd like to try and convert some company code to run on the 2.0 branch,
but we have political problems:
I'm not allowed to put a cobol compiler on any of the company development
machines that isn't at 'production' status. Despite the cost of the
compiler licences we do use, our clients would rather pay out that money
than risk the possibility of problems caused by a compiler that itself is
still in development.
I have got it on my personal machine, but of course I'm not allowed to put
company code onto my personal machine.
