Is there an AV1 2.0? I'm not using this codec if they can't do basic semantic versioning right.

Codecs are final (the only exception being H.265 with a couple of later additions/extensions that required new codec IP and were not that widely deployed or supported). They are not software. You cannot have upgrades for fixed function HW decoders (which is a must for pretty much any established codec and AV2 will be also one of them).
