In case you didn't see it (I don't know how many mags the ad went in)
the August MacUser says:
2.0 has multi-pass optimizing compiler
Object Pascal support
they improved the source level debugger
"Relaxed size limitations allow virtually unlimited program size." whatever
  that means
Source file compatibility with MPW, support for MPW object files
68881 math co-processor and 68020 support.

and now, for the good part
Suggested retail price $125.
Owners of version 1.11 or earlier please call 408/446-9994 for upgrade 
information.  I'm calling this afternoon, so I don't know what their
policy is yet.
