I read an article in either MicroTimes or Computer Currents (2 San
Francisco computer newpapers) about this last December.
Apparently, Shanghai II is a full upgrade to the original Shanghai
(no more 2.0 after this, I think) and includes a number of new features.
Among these are different sets of tiles (for those who are sick of
the dots, bars, and other shapes, or just want some variety), and
new stack patterns.  One that they showed a picture of had a central
stack, and a subsidiary stack on each corner with its own peak.

Both the stacks and the tile pictures are supposed to be fully editable,
so you can make as many of your own designs as you want!

I, for one, am heartily looking forward to the new version, having become
an extreme addict to the current one.
