 v2 never saw the light of day, it was very similar to v1 and scraped when I realized it was going to be much bigger than v1. Instead, I went on with v3 that used smaller components (0402 passives instead of 0603, QFN instead of QFP for the ATmega).
-And finally the commercial v3.1a, which differs from the original v3.1a only by its corners: they were rounded, they are now square for manufacturing reasons.

+v3.2a that went on sale on Mai 2014 is a slightly more rationalized version of the 3.1a, witch uses more of the Seeedstudio Open Part Library components in place of more expensive and difficult to source ones (crystal and LEDs mostly).
