Genesis 2.0 Beta 2 comes with fixing number of errors and adding new features. Genesis 2.0 utilizes HTML5 to provide a number of features listed below:

• Brand New Design – Genesis is sporting a fresh new look as it comes with new HTML5 markup and some snazzy CSS3.
• HTML5 Markup – With a single line of code in a child theme, Genesis will now output HTML5 markup in place of the old XHTML tags. Also, every theme we build in the future will be developed on HTML5.
• Microdata – If you’re using a theme with HTML5 enabled, Genesis will also output your markup using microdata.
• Removing Features – Some features removed like “Latest Tweets” widget, the “eNews and Updates” widget, the “post templates” feature, and the “fancy dropdowns” setting. There are some good plugins you can grab and install, if you want to continue using those functionalities.
