Chamilo v2.0.0 now available for download!

[ywarnier]

Version 2.0 is a major stable version that follows v1.11.*, and in particular the release of v1.11.38.

Although we have tested the migration from 1.11 to 2.0, we recommend users wait for version 2.1 (in a few months) before migrating any large-sized Chamilo portal to 2.0, as this version might suffer from some uncaught issues bound to the use of a newer version with many new dependencies.
