The current stable release is 1.1.9 - so if your code is 1.1.7 based you should probably step up to 1.1.9, there are a few bug fixes and a bunch of improvements. 2.0 is the experimental tree - I used it for a bit, but found it too unstable so reverted to the 1.1.x series. The 2.0 series also has a changed (mainly improved) but *not* compatible API, so code written for 1.1.x will not compile directly in 2.x without some rework. The 1.3.x series (the current 1.x development branch) retains the 1.1.9 API, but is trying to move towards 2.x in terms of features and so forth. The intent with the 1.3 series is to retain the stability of the 1.1.x series, so you might OK using that. My personal choice is 1.1.9 for stuff that matters, 1.3 for toys and experiments, and the occasional foray into 2.x to see how things compare...
