Versions

• 1.x is stable and will receive bug fixes but not new features.
• 2.x is stable. It is significantly faster than 1.x due to changes in the API. New features are going into this version. Unless you have custom modules or API calls, you can cleanly upgrade to 2.x. See https://www.drupal.org/list-changes/course for the API changes in 2.x.
