Hi Simon,
IMHO these words explained well the situation:
"Also it has to be taken into account that the level of stability of
this new version is not as high as we would have wished, considering it
a final version in order to be used by the community in an official way,
and mainly to tackle the new developments on it." [1, 2]
I would not suggest to use gvSIG 2.0 in production right now, however
we have to consider that the actual level of stability is a bit higher
than two months ago (BN2066), thanks to the continuous efforts of
developers and users like you. Many thanks to all!

Cheers,
Antonio
