2.0.0

Major Changes

We are finally removing our dependency on the deprecated Microsoft.Azure.EventHubs.* 4.x.x packages and now instead use the Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.* 5.x.x packages. Since we are introducing a new package dependency, this is potentially a compile-time breaking change, so we are releasing this as a major version change. However, the change is not breaking from an "operational" perspective: none of the APIs changed, and neither did the storage format. So it is safe to switch to this latest version (or back to the old version) at any time.
