This release brings about many improvements to the overall stability and performance of the API, but most importantly, it removes all previously deprecated fields. By doing so, it gives us a more solid platform on which to continue innovating by adding new features to the API and the Dimensions Search Language. See also the how to upgrade from V1 to V2 page.
New features:
The return <source> syntax is now optional (see the search source page)
