Pebble SDK 2.0 BETA5 - Changelog	2014-01-10

Pebble SDK 2.0 is currently in BETA and intended for developers only.
Applications written for Pebble 1.x are not compatible with SDK 2.0
If a 2.0 version of an application exists, the Pebble mobile applications will automatically install it when when a user upgrades her/his Pebble.

You can start uploading your application to the Pebble appstore TODAY - Please do so!

What has changed since BETA4

Overview:

Accelerometer locking up: Although we have fixed several bugs around the accelerometer, we have noticed a few instance of the accelerometer locking up and the accel callback not being called anymore. If you see this happen again, please use the "Contact Support" button to send us logs. Make sure you change the subject to "Accelerometer lockup". Thank you very much!
getAccountToken() (in PebbleKit JS) is not working yet. It currently returns a random string. In an upcoming update (before 2.0) it will return a unique token linked to the Pebble user account. This is tied with appstore functionnalities and not available yet in this beta build.
