After running what we believe has been a very complete beta program for the last three months we are ready to officially launch our 2.1 version next week at the end of the day Tuesday, May 12th.

What will happen on May 12th

1. v2.1 of the Gnip platform available at http://api.gnip.com will become the officially supported version.   Existing customers of the standard version of our product are all being contacted directly via email.   Community version users are being notified by our official newsletter, this blog post and our standard practice of posting to our Twitter account @gnipsupport.
2. Version 2.0 will be deprecated and continue to be available for 30 days.  Existing users of the http://prod.gnipcentral.com version of the service are encouraged to move to the new version as soon as possible.   The point of the 3 month beta program was to provide time to upgrade to the new Gnip v2.1 data schema.  Read up on the new version at http://www.gnip.com/docs
