Finally! is that official?

Kind of. Before we will do official announcement we have to complete following things: - compile binaries for Linux X86/X64 - update links/information blocks on our web site.

Thank you for the hard work on this major version release. I use it in a side project and PhantomJS2 has greatly improved it's performance among other things.

"A: If you want to know HTML5/CSS3/other features supported by PhantomJS, using WebKit version is not a good idea. See Supported Web Standards documentation page for details.

If you really like to get the WebKit version, find it via the user agent, run the examples/useragent.js. The actual version depends on the libraries with which PhantomJS was compiled."

I can't understand this. Why is it bad to know that they use webkit X? When I was struggling with previous versions of PJS the soulition was to realize what I wanted wasn't supported in that version so I needed a workaround.

And the answer is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) PhantomJS/2.0.0 Safari/538.1

This means that HTML/CSS3 feature set is up to Chrome 28

I'd really like PhantomJS to declare issue bankruptcy on their Github repo, which is currently a whopping 1,367 issues, many of which are just pastes of core dumps with no replies.

Wiping the slate clean with Phantom 2, combined with any changes that enable more contributors to fight down the issues list, could lead to PhantomJS being a much more solid project.
