There are 2 minor changes, for those who care. Namely:
1) Officially change the version number policy from being 2.0 => 2.0.0
2) Update setup.py to declare a dependency when people make partial
   builds of the installer.

Great to hear. However, the last official revision on the 2.0.0 branch is:

4667 Canonical.com Patch Queue Manager 2009-09-15 [merge]
     (jam) Change the official version numbers from 2.0 to 2.0.0


Which indicates it is missing at least the revision which changes
(2,0,0,'candidate',2) => (2,0,0,'final',0)

(which also hints that you probably cut the tarball from a local branch,
rather than waiting for pqm to approve it all?)

Once the 2.0.0 branch is finished, bzr-svn is the only specific thing
that is blocking me from building the final 2.0.0-1 windows installers.

I have to say, having these pre-releases does take a bit of 'oomph' out
of the announcements. Maybe that's just me.
