After much neglect, acts_as_taggable for Rails has finally been updated and released as a 2.0 beta version. All of the credit goes to my friend Dirk Elmendorf for his hard work and gracious disposition to take over as admin of the project.

Here are the release notes for your perusal:

IMPORTANT NOTE: The default table names have changed to be more inline with the way rails expects them. The docs show you how to migrate.

Other changes:
FEATURE:Added in count_uniq_tagged with - (Patch by Lon Baker)
BUGFIX: Fixed typos - (Patch Blair Zajac)
FEATURE: clear_tags - clears all tags
FEATURE: remove_tag - removes 1 or more tags
FEATURE: replace_tag - replaces 1 or more tags with one or more tags
BUGFIX: join table now follows the rails convention
FEATURE: :tag_class_column_name - allows overriding of the tag name column (Patch Sam Joseph)
FEATURE: find_related_tagged now supports :conditions
FEATURE: :normalizer - allows the system to standardize the case for all tags - controlled by a Proc you provide

Thank you Dirk and contributors!
