The first v2 beta is now available for download here:
http://moi3d.com/beta.htm (also linked to from the Download page).

You will need to enter your v1 license key to download the v2 beta.

The v2 beta installs into its own folder, it is not a problem to have v1 and any v2 beta installed on the same machine, in fact I recommend that so that you can fall back to v1 if you run into some temporary bad bug in v2.

This is just the start of the v2 betas, there will be many more to follow.

I'll gather up some notes on all the changes a bit later on, but the major new areas are an object edit frame that shows up around the outside of selected objects which allows you to do scaling or rotation very easily without starting up special commands, and also new snapping abilities to enable drawing directly on surfaces.

There are some descriptions and videos of these in action in these 2 previous discussion threads:

There are a lot of changes in some of the basic mechanisms of MoI to support these new functions, please let me know if you see anything that behaves in an unexpected way.

Looking forward to unleashing many more new features in upcoming betas as well ! :)
