Via James I learned that earlier this month was released Natural Earth
v2.0.0. A quick reminder: "Natural Earth is a public domain map dataset
available at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110 million scales. Featuring tightly
integrated vector and raster data, with Natural Earth you can make a
variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS
software." We mentioned this dataset in the past quite a few times.

 From the 2.0.0 release notes: "The 2.0.0 release focuses on 7 major
areas and is available to download today à la carte at
NaturalEarthData. ZIP combo downloads of all vectors: SHP (279 mb) or
