You are browsing the code of upcoming 2.0 release, if you are interested in the 1.x series, check the 1.x branch.
Differences between the 1.x and 2.x series can be found in the CHANGELOG.
Upgrading from 1.x to 2.x should be almost transparent for most of the userland code, in the
case you have heavily used internal-api or you are relaying on some of the removed features,
the UPGRADING document is a short guide on how to upgrade.
If you are submitting a pull request, until the 2.0 is not released submit it targeting the 1.x branch. Accepted pull request will be ported to the 2.0 release when possible.
