@subsection What are ASDF 1 and ASDF 2?
We are preparing for a release of ASDF 2,
which will have version 2.000 and later.
While the code and documentation are essentially complete
we are still working on polishing them before release.
Releases in the 1.600 series and beyond
should be considered as release candidates.
For all practical purposes,
ASDF 2 refers to releases later than 1.656,
and ASDF 1 to any release earlier than 1.369 or so.
If your ASDF doesn't have a version, it's old.
ASDF 2 release candidates and beyond will have
@code{:asdf2} onto @code{*features*} so that if you are writing
ASDF-dependent code you may check for this feature
to see if the new API is present.
@emph{All} versions of ASDF should have the @code{:asdf} feature.
If you are experiencing problems or limitations of any sort with ASDF 1,
we recommend that you should upgrade to ASDF 2 or its latest release candidate.
