Subject: Re: [Libbitcoin] How mature for use is version2 now?
Hi Eric,

Thank you very much for your response -

What's the motivation for version3?

(And the motivation for version2 over version1 was just that version1
was to some extent improvised, like any library and API is, and ideas of
how to do things better, cleaner, faster lead to v2 right?)

Best regards
