A new, and hopefully the last, mod_perl 2.0.0 snapshot was announced today
in the mod_perl mailing list.

Quote from the announcement:
---
#* Allright folks, RC6 was released a while ago, and various issues
were resolved. According to our planned schedule, I am releasing
a mod_perl-2.0.0 preview! As before, this is your last chance to
affect the new API, since after 2.0.0 is released, incompatible API
changes will not happen. So, one more time, test this tarball as much
as possible. If all is well, this could become the official 2.0.0 release. *#

Announcement:
[ANNOUNCE] mod_perl 2.0.0 (preview!)

I think it is better to wait for the final mod_perl 2.0.0 version and
released it as an errata.
