In this minor release we’re bringing back some features that were removed for the 2.0 release, adding new contracts requested by the community, and making some popular operations more gas efficient.

To install the release candidate run npm install openzeppelin-solidity@next. We want to hear what you think!
The actual 2.1 release will come out after a week of no changes to the release candidate.
