Executing doomsday.exe leads me directly to new GUI. I have no more that pre-setup gui of selecting desired game and add-ons. So how I can now play with addons?
The 2.0 unstable builds are a work in progress. The add-on selections GUI is still missing some useful features, and support for .box add-ons isn't fully functional.
At the moment, you need to:
To make Doomsday aware of your add-ons, copy them into the Doomsday 2 runtime folder, OR use the "-packs" command line option to point to one or more folders where add-ons are located.
Select a game profile and click the box icon next to the play icon. This opens the packages picker.
Find the add-ons you want to use in the list. Search keywords can be entered in the top. Click the [+] button to select add-ons for loading (it then appears on the left).
Close the packages picker and press the play icon.
You can also create additional game profiles if you want to have multiple add-on configurations saved for later. You can either duplicate an existing profile by right-clicking it, or create a new one using the "Add Profile" item in the bottom of the game profile lists.
I installed version 2002 and I'm trying to select addons. The filter finds all of my addons but in the game it does not render textures - not a single texture in all three games - doom, heretic and hexen. The addon packs work fine on the stable version however. I looked in the options and I didn't see an option which enables or disables high res textures. What could be the reason or this feature is still not complete?

Which high-res texture packs are you using? I can test them myself and see what's wrong.
There definitely are still some issues loading certain add-ons. I will keep fixing these and generally improving compatibility with the add-ons out there in upcoming builds.
For Hexen, I use veirdo's XARP box from the forum thread.
For Doom, I use the dhtp (DOOM High-Resolution Texture Project) archive from their site.
For Heretic I can't remember now. But for doom and hexen I use these two packs without any modifications in the packs. These packs work fine on the stable version.
