I noticed the contrast issue too. It creates particular problems when text is quite small, and is now quite a lot fainter than before - making it a strain to read. I looked for an option in the settings to increase contrast, but could not find one.

Relating to your second point, as I have mentioned now in a couple of posts, the zoom capabilities are now very strange. As far as I can tell, there is now only one zoom level, which is either too much or not enough based on what you are zooming into. Since I deal largely with two-column texts, and need a finer-grained zoom, this clunky zoom in 2.0 is a showstopper.
