Actually there's little visibly different if you're using 1.x for just the
basics. Most of the work in 2.x was done in libdkim; some of it was
bugfixes but most of it was overhauling the code to be able to deal with
messages bearing more than one signature.
One thing you sacrifice with 2.x is the ability to sign or verify messages
whose format followed DKIM specs earlier than the RFC. If you need
maximum versatility right now, don't upgrade.
2.1.1 appears to be stable, and I currently have no pending development or
open bugs so there are no plans for newer versions at this time. The
to-do list is big but none of it is pressing.
Here's a quick summary since 1.2.0:
NEW FEATURES
ClockDrift (tolerance for out-of-sync clocks)
SyslogSuccess (logging even successful operations)
RemoveARFrom, RemoveARAll (Authentication-Results: header removal)
RemoveOldSignatures (remove old signatures)
VISIBLE CHANGES
New SSP draft from the IETF working group
New Authentication-Results: format
Tidy up some 64-bit portability issues
Support for DNS over TCP for handling long DNS replies
Now handles arbitrarily large headers (was capped at 4k each)
Clean up pid file on shutdown
_FFR_DIFFHEADERS ("diff" old/new headers to find verification issues)
Added buffering around the crypto functions for faster performance
THINGS REMOVED
Support for pre-RFC signature formats
BUGS FIXED
Crash bugs tripped by some malformed messages
Numerous minor non-crash issues
INVISIBLE STUFF
Lots of library cleanup
Lots of library extensions for developers
Full library support for multiple signatures
