No exact date yet, but the software should be getting a huge upgrade soon. 2.0 is on RC2. When this gets dropped we may have some down time.

Any new functionality?

Not really sure, just saw the announcement. Haven't had time to read up.

simplemachines.org should have the info.

Here's what I found, probably not all,

Major changes since the last release:

    * Inclusion of the Curve theme
    * Fixed a significant number of bugs reported by Beta Testers, Charter members, and community members.
    * Optimized hundreds of queries for faster performance (with new indexes, re-written queries etc, changes to column type)
    * Canonical link support for better search engine indexing
    * Feature: ability to have different readmes in packages for different languages
    * Feature: ability to delete languages (oops! we forgot that earlier)
    * Linktrees have been re-added to the lower-areas of the forum. Also, linktrees have been added to the admin, moderation and profile sections.
    * Lighttpd support for Queryless urls
    * Improved support for right to left languages
    * Fixed OpenID
    * Extra fields to for Advanced Profile fields to surround/enclose within other text, and to choose placement as icon or signature.
    * Several theme improvements for better semantics and standards support.
    * Moved more JS out of templates
    * Wireless links to switch back to normal mode.

Hopefully this means they fixed the "show me new posts" bug.

Show all unread posts works perfectly for me. Are you saying it doesn't work for you?

It misses a few posts here and there, nothing a trip to the homepage and a scroll down to see updates doesn't fix.
