It’s pretty exciting! I think we can expect alot from the 2.0 version. Might we have a sneak preview? 
This could help polish it a little bit. Feedback from anticipating users could contribute a whole deal to the success of your newest release. It can also calm the jittery nerves of your most impatient avid users COngratulations on the completion of Ardour 2.0! More releases to come!

Great news! Do you suggest (For those guys that wants to try it out and give feedback) to grab the last svn code or maybe you prefer to give them a preliminary tarball to test out?
Great work! Thank you!
I like the new logo, too it. Hopefully that will make it into the release!
Excuse me for being silly, but there is a slight deja-vu (for old farts like me):
We’ll be releasing an Ardour-beta3 tarball soon.
This week I’m your straight reporter bringing you news of of updates, upgrades, and new releases in the world of Linux audio software. Development in this world is continuously productive, so I’ll present only a selection of the Linux sound and music applications and utilities announced in the month of November in the year 2008.
Ardour is a hard disk recorder and digital audio workstation application. It runs on Linux and Mac OS X.[3] Its primary author is Paul Davis, who is also responsible for the JACK Audio Connection Kit. Ardour’s intention is to provide digital audio workstation software suitable for professional use.
There’s a good article and plenty of links at the Ardour website which includes recommendations for good effects plugins for linux.
i thought garageband accepted mmc. MIDI Patchbay seems like the way to go but i dont see a virtual input to gb. i’ll keep working with it tho - probably missed something obvious.

Hey! This is great news and something that I was expecting. I would be so nice to get a new Ardour version with lots of new features and fixes. Thanks for the information and please keep us updated as to when Ardour2 will be finally released.
Ardour capabilities include: multichannel recording, non-destructive editing with unlimited undo/redo, full automation support, a powerful mixer, unlimited tracks/busses/plugins, timecode synchronization, and hardware control from surfaces like the Mackie Control Universal. If you’ve been looking for a tool similar to ProTools, Nuendo, Pyramix, or Sequoia, you might have found it.

the newer version of the workstation is really good and the mixing and editing is a highlight.

We’ve done away with the seperate hierarchy Ardour maintained for soundfiles. Now, it just uses the filesystem. As part of the gtk2 port, it uses the new file dialog, and it looks great. The new Sfdb dialog has more options on how to import/embed the soundfile. It still has custom metadata fields for adding your own info to each file, of course.
The second of a 13-part series created by Tony Whitmore detailing how to mix a podcast in Ardour on Ubuntu. It was created initially so that members of the Ubuntu UK LoCo team could take part in the Ubuntu UK Podcast. However it was decided to release them because they may be useful to other podcasters, or those wishing to learn more about mixing in Ardour.
