+*This is a new major version (v2) of the library. It includes breaking changes, signature changes and new functionality.
+Keep reading if interested, or head to the legacy-v1 branch to read v1 documentation and info.*
+
+*The v2 version is still in beta and its API surface might still change. Functions might be renamed,
+options might be removed (though they probably won't), signatures might change. If this is a problem,
+please wait for the final release and keep using v1*.
