I would personnally recommend you to start with the new version as it
is now pretty stable (the only modifications now are some API renaming
to be more coherent, and this is fully documented). By the time your
project is out, a "2.0" version should also be out.

AFAIK no doc has been written about the migration from 1.2.x to "2.0"
versions. However I believe all the features of 1.2 have been retained
in "2.0", and the major changes are as new API, so it should be
_fairly_ easy to recompile your code. If you got any problem, I can
try to help you.
