When will that long-awaited v2.0 be released, and what exciting new features will I find there?

DJGPP v2.0 will hopefully be released in the first quarter of 95 (obviously, it didn't). It will be DPMI-only environment, and will include a free DPMI host for those who don't have other DPMI server installed. In addition, v2.0 will feature the following major improvements upon v1.1x:

• no more go32. Applications require only that DPMI be available to them.
• much faster extender (the free DPMI host) and library functions
• low memory footprint of the DPMI host below 640KB
• the extender (well, DPMI server) is loaded only once: no more problems with spawning child programs (e.g., unlimited recursive Make's)
• signal support
• 387 emulation under DPMI
• graphics under DPMI
• ANSI- and POSIX-compliant libraries and header files
• many bugs in interrupts and mixed-mode programming support fixed
