Version Recommendation

As part of Black Duck's drive for customer success, we are constantly reviewing our APIs and making changes where necessary. Some of the APIs below are available in v1.0 and v2.0 versions. This is to facilitate customers who want to keep using v1.0 for some APIs, but v2.0 for others. It is recommended that customers use v2.0 APIs where possible.
