You're thinking of 2.0, which has a bunch of improvements for the GIS
people. I believe it changes the API a bit too, so I don't think it
will work with SL as is right now anyway. 1.3 is the one that got
Dzonatas' DWT and the bulk of my changes, thus is the one you want.

AFAIK SL was shipping with at least 1.2.
