I know AutoHotkey is a free, community-driven software, so please, don't get me wrong.
But what is v2 development state? There was 2.5 months between beta 1 and beta 2, and just a week between beta 2 and beta 3. Now it is April, and there are already 5 months since beta 3 is out. I love improvements about the syntax, but there are still no installation package and no built-in "window inspector". Maybe they should be added so that more _average_ users can use v2 without those issues, something like beta 3.1?

Re: Still no installation package and no window inspector
v2 is beta software. Nobody is being told to use it with the expectation it is complete software. I'm sure an installer will appear eventually.
if you want the bells and whistles of the AutoHotkey v1 installation, namely the right-click menu and the file extension association, I've heard people recommend that you just install v1 normally and then replace the AutoHotkey.exe with the v2 version. I think it's even in the docs.
if you want to run Window Spy from your v2 tray menu, just put a WindowSpy.ahk inside your v2 directory to launch it. Something like
