For example, the IdP now correctly sets the audience condition in responses, which will allow it to interoperate with the Shibboleth to Athens gateway. So this release is particularly significant for sites which had decided to go the 2.x route but stalled because of these particular issues, and they should be able to start to make progress again once 2.1 is out.

If you are updating from IdP 2.0 to 2.1 you *must* make sure you have saved your previous configuration. Chad is very hopeful that 2.1 will hit the e-streets this week... To reiterate Nicole’s point.

Guanxi, 1.3, 2.0, Ezproxy and a varity of other SAML compliant SPs. And that's got to be a indicator of the good health of the Federation. As we all know a good Heinz 57 variety dog is far more robust than a King Charles Spaniel.
