+After version 2.0-alpha1 has been out for a while (the corresponding release
+notes can be found below), this second alpha release contains a few number of
+improvements and new features whose implementation required some changes on
+existing interfaces. In most cases, new methods were added offering enhanced
+functionality. Because these are typically interfaces implemented by the
+library itself client code using the previous alpha version should hardly be
+affected.
+
+Below is a list of all changes in this version:
+
+New features:
+=============
+o CONFIGURATION-574:  DefaultExpressionEngine can now be customized to match
+                      configuration keys in a case-insensitive manner. This is useful
+                      for instance for dealing with Windows INI files.
+o CONFIGURATION-565:  Added support for querying encoded properties.
+o CONFIGURATION-200:  A size() method was added to the ImmutableConfiguration interface.
+
+Fixed Bugs:
+===========
+o CONFIGURATION-564:  PropertiesConfiguration now supports again properties without a
+                      value and a separator character. The keys of such properties
+                      are added to the configuration with an empty String as value.
+o CONFIGURATION-427:  XMLPropertyListConfiguration can now save arrays in the correct form.

 This is the first alpha release for version 2.0 of Commons Configuration.
 Version 2 is a major redesign of the Configuration API. It breaks compatibility
 in many areas and, therefore, is not a drop-in replacement for Commons
