The biggest feature is the switch-over from Railo to Lucee as the underlying CLI engine that powers the REPL and commands. The embedded server now also runs Lucee 4.5 as well. If you require a Railo embedded server, you will need to stay on CommandBox 1.1.1 for now.
Another major new feature is support for different endpoints when installing packages in addition to ForgeBox. Now packages can be installed from the following locations:
Local zip file
Local folder
HTTP/HTTPS URL that points to a package zip
ForgeBox (default)
The ForgeBox endpoint now also has rudimentary support for targeting a specific version. If you request a specific version of a package to be installed, and it is in your artifacts cache, no network calls will be made. This allows completely offline installations! Here are some examples:
We also have a nice collection of bug fixes. Below are the full release notes for CommandBox 2.0.0.
[COMMANDBOX-211] - CommandBox caches .cfm files between executions
[COMMANDBOX-214] - Lucee version leaves tons of old jars on upgrade
[COMMANDBOX-218] - Script repl confused on paranthesis or quotes
[COMMANDBOX-223] - coldbox create model command doesn't escape "open" parameters
[COMMANDBOX-224] - Coldbox create model creates incorrect testcase w/ no methods
[COMMANDBOX-225] - Calling `forgebox slugcheck` with empty slugname throws error
[COMMANDBOX-232] - osx brew installation broken for commandbox 2.0
[COMMANDBOX-237] - Application times out and wirebox references die
[COMMANDBOX-238] - Dev installation w/out package directory overwrites box.json
[COMMANDBOX-159] - Switch CommandBox core to Lucee
[COMMANDBOX-215] - Multi Endpoint support
And finally, the ability to install packages from a Git repo is here!
And this nice shortcut for installing from GitHub:

This fixes a bug in the "update" and "outdated" commands that caused them to error after you had installed packages from an endpoint other than ForgeBox. Note, packages installed from HTTP(S) and Git endpoints will always show as outdated and will always update since those endpoints don't provide a way to know what version they're hosting without downloading the entire package anyway.
We also included a small enhancement to the Git endpoint to allow for authentication via public/private SSH keys. As long as you have a public key configured on your Git server and the private key is stored in ~/.ssh/ using a standard name, SSH-based clones should automatically authenticate. Please see the docs for more info.
