2.0.0 Release Candidate 2

2.0.0 is getting close to ready! We had a number of people who tested and found issues with RC1: @ladyada, @ntoll, @deshipu, @willingc, @jerryneedell, @KurticusMaximus, @kattni. Please keep up the awesome testing! Join us on the Discord chat to collaborate.

DO NOT use this release if all you want to do is try CircuitPython. 1.0.0 is much better for playing around.

Here are the changes since Release Candidate 1:

• Add the machine module back to the ESP8266 build. This fixes WebREPL. (Thanks @jerryneedell and @KurticusMaximus for finding this.)
• Add support for 8-bit audio recording with audiobusio. Thanks @ntoll for testing audiobusio.
• Documentation improvements thanks to @willingc, @KurticusMaximus and @dhalbert .
• .frozen in sys.path can now be overridden by new files on the file system.
• Reliability improvements around CTRL-C thanks to @dhalbert and @ladyada.

Moving from 1.0.0 to 2.0.0 is not a perfect process. There are a few things that break when doing so.

• mpy files compatible with 1.0.0 are NOT compatible with 2.0.0 because MicroPython changed the format. A 2.0.0 bundle is available here. (Its built by changing the branch of circuitpython in the bundle repo before building it.)
• uos is replaced by os, storage and multiterminal
• urandom is replaced by random

This release is based on MicroPython 1.9.2. Support upstream MicroPython by purchasing a PyBoard (from Adafruit here).
