Upgrading from Beta 2, 3, 3.1, or 3.2

Several method names were changed between Beta 3 and 1.0 in an effort to have the most logical names for our 1.x releases (since we're planning NO public API breakages through the entire 1.x series of releases). There were no API breakages between Beta 2 and Beta 3, 3.1, or 3.2, so upgrading to 1.0 should be the same as upgrading from Beta 3.x. Beta 2 users should see a remarkable difference in speed and compatibility after the upgrade.
