"Welcome to the first release of AvalonDock 2.0

Finally I can upload the new release of AvalonDock. This new release is stable and includes many new features if compared to 1.3:

• AvalonDock 2.0 has been completely rewritten to take full advantage of the MVVM design.
• The layout model is now completely separated from the view controls; integration with frameworks like PRISM is easier and faster.
• I worked a lot to get the best performance especially when user move panes in floating window or set them as auto hidden.
• Floating windows can now be arranged together as it's possible in VS2010.
• The library itself is lighter because use only standard controls restyled like the TabControl or the Grid panel.
• Since first beta I fixed a lot of bugs; this version should be stable enough for most of the projects.
• Comes with two additional themes: VS2010 and Aero theme.
