FuBar 2.0 is still using ACE, it just use ACE2.

With ACE2, you do not need to have an additional addon, all the ACE parts that are used by the ACE2 are included in the addon directory (normally in a lib or libs subdirectory). So FuBar 2.0 use ACE but you don't need to have an Ace addon for it to work. Same thing for the FuBar 2.0 plugins i.e. the FuBar plugins that have been converted to ACE2.

The FuBar 1.2 plugins still need Ace as a separate addon. In order for the FuBar 1.2 addons to work, you also need the FuBar-compat-1.2 addon (it emulate the functions interface that was present in FuBar 1.2 so that old FuBar plugins still work with FuBar 2.0). There is no backward support for FuBar 1.0 but I don't think it's an issue since I'm yet to see an FuBar addon that has not been upgrade to at least FuBar 1.2.

Sumary: FuBar 2.0 and the FuBar 2.0 plugins do not need a separate Ace package. FuBar 1.2 plugins need the Ace 1.3.1 and the Fubar-compat-1.2 addons to work.

Hope that helps.
