@Juho (and / or the other core devs) would it still be possible to get a elgg-2.0.0-beta.2.zip like the beta1 for testing purposes? If it should already be available then something might have gone wrong in the release process because it isn't.

Yeah, I was supposed to make the zip but I ran out of time. I'll try to find time to make it.

That would be really good; I would like to join the testing too (without git/composer).
