I have version 1.0 and am considering upgrading.
What are the new features and/or improvements that 2.0 will offer.

I got some litterature from the company but it wasn't very specific
at all.

When will it be officially available?

I thought this would be of general interest:

  Allegro CL for Windows version 2.0 is, like 1.0 a full-featured Common Lisp
  supporting CLOS, a 32 bit native compiler, and extensive Windows support
  including a high level Graphics API (Common Graphics).

  2.0 differs from 1.0 in that it:

  (1) has an interactive Interface Builder
  (2) has CLOS class and method browsers
  (3) has source code available for the Common Graphics interface and
      the Interface Builder
  (4) has numerous bugfixes and is much more stable than 1.0
  (5) has additional example code, including a sample DDE interface
  (6) runs under NT

  Franz also intends to make an available an interface between WinEmacs from
  Pearl Software (a port of Gnu Emacs 19.6, an Emacs with window and mouse
  support) to support more powerful editing.  This interface will be
  available soon.

  Please address enquiries direct to Rich Maiers (····@franz.com) 510-548-3600.

I have heard that there will be two versions, "standard" and 
"professional".  Perhaps you could say something about that.

Yes, there are two versions:

Professional Allegro CL for Windows (for $995) includes royalty free
runtime delivery as well as all the features previously described
(interface builder, source code, etc.).  All people purchasing the
$200 upgrade from 1.0 get the Professional Version.

Standard (for $595) excludes royalty free runtime delivery option and
source code, but is otherwise identical.
