Capistrano 2.0 Preview 1 has been announced on the Riding Rails weblog, along with the release of Capistrano 2.0 is a new website called capify which is being updated as we speak.

There is an interesting list of new features including namespaces which will solve name conflicts when using multiple third-party task libraries, deployment strategies which will give you more choice over how you deploy, and a capify script that will ship with capistrano to help get you started.

One thing to note is that Capistrano 2.0 is not fully backwards compatible with 1.x so some alterations to your recipes may be needed. Thankfully there is an upgrade page dedicated to explaining how to upgrade from 1.x to 2.0 which should make the upgrade process go far more smoothly.

We will post more information as it becomes available as well as information on when we will upgrade our servers with a release version of Capistrano 2.0
