Hi everyone, This is an awesome day for Play framework, and I’m really proud of this moment. We have two great announcements today. To start, we are happy to present the first public release of Play 2.0 in the form of a beta package. We have worked hard to achieve this beta version and we are half way to the final 2.0 version. Here it is: http://download.playframework.org/releases/play-2.0-beta.zip This beta will give you an almost complete preview of the Play 2.0 experience, including the native Scala support, the new possibilities provided by the sbt integration, and all the new APIs. It comes with several Java and Scala sample applications you can start experimenting with. And following the first documentation draft at http://github.com/playframework/Play20/wiki you can start creating your first applications as well. Please give it a run around the block and report back any issues you find. The second exciting news is that Play 2.0 will be part of the upcoming Typesafe Stack 2.0, to be released in early 2012. Typesafe is the Scala company, founded by the creators of the Scala programming language and Akka middleware. Our vision for Play framework and especially for this 2.0 version is completely aligned with Typesafe’s focus on creating a modern software platform for the era of multicore hardware and cloud computing.
You can read the official typesafe announcement and Jonas Boner (Typesafe CTO) post on the typesafe blog.
Play 2.0 is already built on key pieces of the Typesafe Stack, including Scala, Akka, and Simple Build Tool (sbt), making Typesafe a very natural choice for the Play framework future. This Typesafe collaboration is really a good news for all Play users, as the company will contribute new development resources to the open source project, new key components like the integration with the Scala IDE for eclipse, and will provide commercial support and maintenance services for Play 2.0. Peter Hausel, a long time contributor on Play framework who worked with me on the first Scala module experiments has joined Typesafe to synchronize the Play framework efforts on their side. The current contributors, and particularly Zenexity will continue working on the open source project, and I will keep leading the project. Zenexity and Typesafe will work together on Play framework and the future of Web Oriented Architectures in general. To go forth in this tight-knit collaboration, I'm honored to join the Typesafe advisory board next to James Gosling, Doug Lea and Willy Zwaenepoel, while keeping my current position at Zenexity. Additionally, although Typesafe is a Scala company it doesn't mean that Play 2.0 will become a Scala-only web framework. All components of the Typesafe stack provide seamless integration with Java; Scala being natively compatible with Java libraries, sbt providing build system for both Java and Scala projects, and Akka having a Java API as well. If you happen to be at Devoxx this year, I’ll present Play 2.0 on Wednesday with Sadek Drobi, CTO of Zenexity, who works on the architecture of Play2.0, including the new awesome asynchronous and fully reactive core engine. Also we will both join the Typesafe booth where we will demonstrate the new features and talk about all these exciting changes. Play 2.0, and the new collaboration with Typesafe opens up incredible prospects for the project’s future. It is the beginning of a new era for Play framework -- get started today by trying out the beta package! Have fun. -- Guillaume Bort

Bravo, this is a really good news. Congratulations for all people in Zenexity and Typesafe!
I have faith that Playframework will have brightest future in scala & web technology world because I already researched all scala web frameworks (all that i can find) and at the end I have the conclusion: Play 2.0 is THE BEST!

While I am generally positive about play 2.0, I *don't understand why this is called a beta release*. As the Play 2.0 Status <https://github.com/playframework/Play20/wiki/Status> page states, there are *some important features missing*, most of them being available in predecessor play 1.2. Therefore I really feel like this being an alpha release and *currently not a real successor of play 1.2*.

1.x will be supported for a long time, we have a ton of projects ourselves that are using it
We called it a beta because the current API-s are stable enough that users can now start building apps or just explore the new version. Personally, I do not think any of the missing features are blockers as far as the actual development is concerned.
Naming is always tricky since different people have different ideas about when a software is ready (see for example google's beta tags)
Congrats! for well deserved place along with "James Gosling, Doug Lea
and Willy Zwaenepoel" for brilliant effort.
Hope type safe stack beats all the competitors hands down in coming
days.

Yes, there will always be discussion about version numbering and naming conventions. (i.e. Firefox and the Linux kernel recently)
The only thing I really miss right now is play eclipsify. I've tried sbt-eclipse and it generates a project but there are a couple of issues. For example it doesn't know where scala.ScalaObject is located and me neither :-)
