From what I can tell from a Google search, Google has never released material design 2.0. What does it mean to have material design 2.0 incorporated here?

It's an unofficial term for the updated material design guidelines, revealed at Google I/O this year.

I much prefer the text inputs in the new style.

Does anyone know of any good implementations in regular React of this newer style (2.0)?

material-ui seems to only implement the previous style: https://material-ui.com/demos/text-fields/
