X.509 refers to the certificate version.  0 == version 1, 1 == version
2, 2 == version 3.

Version 1 certificates have no means for any extensions.
Version 2 certificates are CRLs.
Version 3 certificates are the current norm, and most likely what you want.

The best reference currently is RFC5280, and all of its references.
