Breaking Changes for v1.0

Several breaking changes were introduced with the v1.0.0 release:

Experimental and Beta services now require the appropriate tag to be added to their version:
- Concept Expansion v1 is now v1-beta
- Question and Answer v1 is now v1-beta
- Relationship Extraction v1 is now v1-beta
- Tone Analyzer v2 is now v2-experimental
- Visual Insights v1 is now v1-experimental
- Visual Recognition v1 is now v1-beta
Speech to Text gained a new createRecognizeStream() method replacing the existing live streaming methods with a simpler Read/Write stream.
The older methods are still avaliable in v1.0 but each log a deprecation warning (unless {silent: true} is passed in) and will be removed from a future release.
The affected methods are:
- recognizeLive()
- observeResult()
- getRecognizeStatus()
The Document Conversion API has been reduced to a single convert() method; it no longer offers batch conversion or cloud storage of files.
Several deprecated services have been removed:
- Message Resonance
- Tone Analyzer v1 (replaced by v2-experimental)
- Search (replaced by Retrieve and Rank)
Dropped support for node.js v0.10.x (For reference: the WDC Node.js SDK now officially support the latest 0.12, LTS, and Stable releases of Node.js.)
