menu_views 7.x-2.0

This first official release of the 7.x-2.x branch and is stable for production use. Official support for the 7.x-1.x branch is no longer supported.

This has been a major overhaul of the 1.x branch. The largest change and reason for version bump is that Menu Views now intercepts the theme_menu_link() instead of theme_link(). This is a major improvement in performance and also helps with contrib modules like: Menu Block, Nice Menus and Superfish (see: #1617802-8: Create a release from 7.x-1.x-dev to support Menu Views). Overall code has been consolidated into fewer files.

The administrative UI has also undergone a radical improvement to help simplify the creation of a menu item views. Instead of the concept of "attaching" a view to a menu link item, there is now a toggle at the top of every menu item that allows you to switch between a "link" and "view" menu item type. This helps clarify whether the menu item is a link or a view, avoiding the confusion on how a menu item is rendered.
