Major changes:  
`org-roam-mode` is no longer a global minor-mode: it’s the mode used for org-roam buffers. To set up org-roam, use `org-roam-setup`.

The test function currently used is `org-roam-buffer`. It should show you a buffer that looks like this, on a node:

Most parts of the buffer should be navigable now: You can jump to node, preview, olp, and unlinked reference. Preview UX is still WIP, but I don’t think it’s essential for v2.

Basically everything else will break: org-roam-bibtex, org-roam-server included.
