Hey Jim,

Simply put, 2.0 includes all of the worthwhile plugins from previous releases (although some may have changed names) but not the malware plugins which have always been separate. However, all malware plugins are in a single file  which you can download into your plugins directory from http://malwarecookbook.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/malware.py. So if you grab 2.0 and malware.py, then you'll have the fullest feature set. In particular, you'll have everything mentioned here:

And everything described here:

Darren - glad you've had stellar luck so far, that's great!

Kinda sorta not really almost. malfind.py for example while not
"absorbed" (it's never been included natively that I recall) functions
well under 2.x. Satisfy dependencies and place in plugins dir.

2.0 has been stellar in my own use.
