| -------------------- |
| Major update to M5 including: |
| - New CPU model |
| - New memory system |

| This is a *beta* release, meaning that some features are not complete, |
| and some features from M5 1.X aren't currently supported (e.g., MP |
| coherence). We are working to address these limitations and hope to |
| have a complete 2.0 release soon. |
