Source code and disk images for MacPorts 2.0.0-beta3 are now available [1]. Testing of either of these install methods is helpful.
While there are no known regressions from 1.9.2 at this point, be prepared to encounter bugs. As always, having a recent backup would be wise. Please report any bugs that you find [2] (after first searching Trac [3], of course!) There are a large number of changes in this release. See the ChangeLog [4] for a list of most of them. You may like to focus your testing on the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage. Notable changes since beta1 are: * The pkg installer now actually creates the macports user as intended (apparently nobody installed beta1 using the pkg?) * The images_to_archives.tcl upgrade script should produce more useful error output if it fails due to e.g. insufficient permissions. * Creation of the macports1.0 symlink in the tcl_package_dir should work properly for non-root installs (note this only affects loading the macports package in tclsh, not running macports normally) * The fallback when the configured macportsuser doesn't exist should work better.
