The V2 hardware was released today (March 14, 2018). This hardware has the ability to have RTS/CTS *and* DTR/DSR at the same time. The original WiModem232 could have RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR individually, not all at the same time. It's not likely that this matters to most everyone. For example, Apple II series machines didn't support more than 9600 baud so RTS/CTS really isn't necessary. However, DTR and DSR are used by GBBS, and are supported with the latest firmware for the original V1 hardware. The V2 hardware is needed for baud rates of 38400 or more when using PC BBS software.
The original V1 hardware requires that you cut traces and make jumpers for Apple II machines. The V2 hardware doesn't require this. The firmware and functionality is identical between V1 and V2 hardware.
