Comment:

 We are ready to merge/commit the V2 of the BP REST API. Before doing so,
 let me share some of the steps we will take.

 - I'll commit the code from this
 [https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/pull/337 pr] to BuddyPress
 `trunk`.
 - I'll merge the code from this [https://github.com/buddypress/BP-
 REST/pull/512 pr] in the BP REST plugin GitHub repo.

 **The main difference here is that V2 will be bundled with `trunk` and
 it'll be the default REST API for BuddyPress. If you need to use the V1 of
 the BP REST API, you'll need to install the BP REST plugin (more
 documentation about how to perform this task soon).**

 After those two are done, we will start making other changes to better
 support V2 inside BuddyPress itself. Here are some of the tickets in **the
 current milestone**:

 - #9229
 - #8774
 - #9231
 - #9175
 - #9137
 - #9157
 - #9160

 And start deprecating V1 in other places too:
 - update the current bp rest doc site to use `wp.apiRequest`.
 - move `bp_rest_api_register_request_script` to `deprecated/10.php`. See
 [https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/pull/337#discussion_r1742403899
 here].
 - Add `_deprecated_function` See
 [https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/pull/337#discussion_r1742402110
 here]
 - Remove the `bp.apiRequest` file in BuddyPress 16 (ticket soon)

 While those tickets are not fixed, we will keep this one open. I'm glad to
 say most of them are already done and tested, so we should expect very few
 issues.

 I'll be publishing a blog post in our [https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/
 development blog] soon about V2 BP REST API and the changes that came
 along with it.

 :)
