I love that the new client will be an entirely broswer based wallet.  This will greatly reduce the barrier to entry.

At present, its very easy for me to have a bitcoin wallet at blockchain.org, or a dogecoin wallet at dogechain, or whatever.  But having a Bitshares wallet was very difficult, required me to update the client, took a long time to sync the blockchain, and hogged my computer resources when I ran it. 

This will be a MASSIVE upgrade to usability.

The new client architecture is much easier to work with as well, and having built-in websocket support makes everything so much cleaner. Instead of constantly polling for updates we can now simply subscribe to updates for an account or a market, and get instant notifications whenever something happens. It's pure gold :)

We've also switched to using React instead of Angular so the new wallet will be much much faster.

Dynamic Account Permissions
Every account can be controlled by any weighted combination of other accounts and private keys.
This creates a hierarchical structure that reflects how permissions are organized in real life, and makes
multi-user control over funds easier than ever. Multi-user control is the single biggest contributor to
security, and, when used properly, it can virtually eliminate the risk of theft due to hacking.


multisig is solved..


I was wondering how long it would take people to discover this and realize its importance :)

Wow.

Bitshares 2.0 is going to blow everything else out of the water in terms of technical stats.

oh my goodness this is all gonna take my feeble mind a while to digest.

am I understanding this one small part correctly, is there going to be a race for valuable account names for DNS purposes?

all names registered after today will have a prefix appended to them.

That TODO item got lost in the rush to get this info out.

please elaborate. does that mean our current account names will be gone with the new version?

They will be migrated, check out the migration strategy blog post for more details: http://bitshares.github.io/blog/2015/06/08/migrating-to-bitshares-2.0/

nice, thanks!  +5%
