+<h2>Release Notes for fish 2.0.0</h2>
+
+<h3>Significant Changes</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li><b>Command substitutions now modify <tt>$status</tt></b> <a class="issue_link" href="http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/547">#547</a>.
+<p>
+Previously the exit status of command substitutions (like <tt>(pwd)</tt>) was ignored; however now it modifies $status. Furthermore, the <tt>set</tt> command now only sets $status on failure; it is untouched on success. This allows for the following pattern:
+<pre>
+if set python_path (which python)
+   ...
+end
+</pre>
+
+Because set does not modify $status on success, the if branch effectively tests whether <tt>which</tt> succeeded, and if so, whether the <tt>set</tt> also succeeded.
+
+</p></li>
+
+<li><b>Improvements to $PATH handling</b>.
+<p>
+<ul><li>There is a new variable, <tt>$fish_user_paths</tt>, which can be set universally, and whose contents are appended to $PATH <a class="issue_link" href="http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/527">#527</a></li>
+<li>/etc/paths and /etc/paths.d are now respected on OS X</li>
+<li>fish no longer modifies $PATH to find its own binaries</li>
+</ul></li>
+</p>
+</li>
+
+<li><b>Long lines no longer use ellipsis for line breaks</b>, and copy and paste should no longer include a newline even if the line was broken <a class="issue_link" href="http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/300">#300</a></li>
+
+<li><b>New syntax for index ranges</b> (sometimes known as "slices") <a class="issue_link" href="http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/212">#212</a></li>
+
+<li><b>fish now supports an <tt>else if</tt> statement</b> <a class="issue_link" href="http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/134">#134</a></li>
+
+<li><b>Process and pid completion now works on OS X</b> <a class="issue_link" href="http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/129">#129</a></li>
+
+<li><b>fish is now relocatable</b>, and no longer depends on compiled-in paths <a class="issue_link" href="http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/125">#125</a></li>
+
+<li><b>fish now supports a right prompt (RPROMPT)</b> through the <tt>fish_right_prompt</tt> function <a class="issue_link" href="http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/80">#80</a></li>
+
+<li><b>fish now uses posix_spawn instead of fork when possible</b>, which is much faster on BSD and OS X <a class="issue_link" href="http://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/11">#11</a></li>
+
+</ul>
