Lighttpd 2.0 is work in progress - it is not finished and should not be used in a production environment
Each commit still might break something important, so be careful after updates
We prefer giving support in IRC for now; if you ask questions in the lighttpd forum make sure you mention the version.
We think the docs are already pretty good, so please RTFM before asking questions :)
