I'm taking a look at this, code changes looks relatively straightforward.

One question is whether I should bump the default API version to 2.3 from 2.2 (which is the URL), generally try to make the change non-breaking, but where people will need to explicitly set the baseUrl. I suspect non-breaking to start with makes sense.

It's also unclear what the Enterprise edition process is, that seems to be hidden behind a login. So if anyone has any insight into that please speak up.
