Gitify 2.0 is now stable

The stable version of Gitify 2.0.0 has just been released! Version 2 has been in alpha for a quite a while now, and has had an impressive number of bug fixes and features contributed by the community.

In addition to the new features mentioned when 2.0.0-alpha4 was released, the latest release adds the ability to specify a different config file (handy for specifying different data directories for development and production), as well as limiting the number of resources extracted per parent. A big thanks to @rtripault for their work on these!

@Mark-H also added a feature that automatically updates installed packages, and provider information, listed in the .gitify config file when extracting. This removes the need to manually make those changes when a new package is installed, and can be opted out of with--no-packages. The package:install command was also updated to skip installing a package if the same version or higher is already installed. This speeds it up a lot when there is nothing to update.

To install Gitify v2, head over to the GitHub page for the instructions, and run:

composer global require modmore/gitify:^2

Note: Version 2.0.1-pl has also been released. This patch release fixes a conflict between the new `config` option that allows you to specify a config dot file, and the older `config` option in the modx:install command. When specifying a different .gitify file, be aware the option has been renamed to --dotfile.
