In this 2nd release candidate of libtorrent-2.0, a fair number of issues has been fixed in the 1.2.x branch and been merged into the 2.0 one.
One notable update is an overhaul of the documentation, a pre-release of it can be found here.
The updated changelog for libtorrent-2.0 is:

1.2 is a major upgrade from the 1.1.x series. It is not ABI compatible with 1.1.x.
Most prominent changes are:
announce_entry
no longer represents a single tracker IP, but has a list of endpoints announced to. This is to support multi-homed clients.More on changes to API that are not backwards compatible can be found here.

1.1.12 release
Published by arvidn almost 6 years ago
This is a release candidate of libtorrent 1.2.0, not a final release.
This version is ABI incompatible with the 1.1.x releases.
With libtorrent 1.2.0, C++11 is required to build and in some cases the API has been altered as well. Mostly to use standard C++ types instead of boost types, but also to use more modern vocabulary types like string_view
and span
.
The main changes affecting the API are documented here.
The main differences since RC1 are:

The major highlights in this update are:
read_resume_data()
/write_resume_data()
). This gives clients more control over exactly what resume data and stats gets saved and restored.std::string
objects, now take lt::string_view
(which is meant to be similar to std::string_view
).Full changelog since the 1.1.10 stable release
