A quick 365 days after we launched the project, the community finished up 2.0 today! Briefly, what’s new:

• We shifted to using normalize.css instead of the bulldozer reset.css (and base) approach. This ends up being smaller, faster, and easier to develop with.
• IE6 users will now be prompted to install Chrome Frame by default. It’s time. :)
• The build script continues to get massively improved: any css @imports get inlined into your file before it gets concatenated with other files and minified together, the application cache’s manifest is generated automatically for you if you want to take your app offline, also this whole build process is way faster now.
• Build script also has optional tasks for CSSLint, JSHint, splitting your CSS into modules, and more customizability.
• Added respond.js to allow true responsive development; use media queries with full cross-browser support now!
• PNGFix, Handheld.css removed along with lots of other smart removals. The full h5bp payload is now smaller and faster than ever.

We’ve also added Mathias Bynens and Nicolas Gallagher, two very talented frontend researchers and developers, to the core development team.

Thanks to all the many many awesome code contributions, discussions, and most importantly research and documentation that lead to world-class front-end development!
