Version 2.1 contains many new libraries. Also version 2.0 is not
compatible with gnuplot 4.4

Also, looking at cvs version at SourceForge one can find ChangeLog
which shows the certain level of activity:



2011-01-22 Till Tantau <tantau at users.sourceforge.net>

	- Worked on dv documentation.
	
2011-01-05  Christophe Jorssen <cjorssen at users.sourceforge.net>

	- Attempt to fix a bug #1911195 with pgfpages and rotation (fix
	contributed by Mark Wibrow). Note: Mark was not sure it has side
	effects.

2010-12-17  Christophe Jorssen <cjorssen at users.sourceforge.net>

	- Documentation will now compile with auto-xref enabled (a problem
	with \_ in the graph lib not handled correctly by
	pgfmanual.pdflinks.code.tex).
	- Fix bug #3104978 thanks to Heiko Oberdiek patch on ctt.

2010-12-17 Till Tantau <tantau at users.sourceforge.net>

	- Changed the graph syntax for anonymous nodes in the graph
	library and simplified the as= syntax.
