views 6.x-2.0

At long last, Views 2.0 is finally here. Not quite every bug has been wrung out of the system. There are some known issues with Postgres. The upgrade path from Views 1 to Views 2 is rather painful.

Please see the advanced help documentation for instructions and tutorials. For your convenience, the most current advanced help documentation is always mirrored here: http://views-help.doc.logrus.com

If you're new to Views, please try the SimpleViews add-on which is a very very simple UI substitute. It is not powerful or extensible but it can create some of the most common views with a very streamlined UI and it will let you then tweak those views as you need. It is a great place to get started while you're learning the system.
