  Yes.  Things change.

  The code in 2.x is a lot more capable than 1.x.  However, as a result,
it has some limitations that 1.x didn't.

  e.g. Shared secrets can now be any length, not just 32 characters.
However, this means that the shared secrets *cannot* be defined per
request packet.  They *must* be defined per client.

  See "dynamic clients".  That code could be updated to "peek" at the
entire packet, and create new clients based on more than just the IP
address.

  But it *is* more work than it would have been in 1.x.
