Just noticed this thread again and decided to add some clarity with v2.0 and why it is not out.
AbanteCart v2.0 was converted into AbanteCart Charged as a commercial product. It is used by some of our large clients.
This platform is much more sophisticated with distributed architecture and not suitable to be freeware.
AbanteCart open source product is expanding independently with new release v1.4.1 coming up very soon. A lot of new features.
