The main improvements since Sardana 2.0.0 (aka Jan16) are:

• Make Sardana compatible with Taurus4. Since Taurus4 introduces some backwards incompatibilities (http://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/wiki/TEP14)
• Sardana implements a compatibility layer in order to support Taurus v3 and v4. Taurus4 deprecation warnings are present. (#452)
• Add itango dependency to make Sardana compatible with the latest PyTango 9.2.0. Sardana CLI client (spock) has been adapted. (#487)
• Re-introduce a possibility to decode repeat parameters for macros that use only one repeat parameter, located at the end of the definition, from a flat list parameters - grouping is not necessary. (#491)
• Add an optional block output of the scan records in spock - the new records can be printed on top of the previous ones. (#492)
• Fix sporadic "already involved in operation" errors in the scans when using 0D experimental channels. (#104)
• Improve the sequencer behavior. (#483, #485)
• Improve the documentation. (#489, #490, #491)
• Solve other bugs (#499, #493, #488, #485, #484, #483, #482, #478, #418, #405)
