Following SDK releases will gradually deprecate support for v1 API completely.

Breaking changes

Minor driver manifest fields were changed: Build is now a time.Time instead of *time.Time, and NativeVersion is a string instead of []string.

Unused fields were removed, specifically: OS, InformationLoss, NativeEncoding.
