Just found out I need to update my Blockchain.info Receive Payments API to v2, which now asks for my xPub (Extented Public Key).

How/where do I find my xPub (Extented Public Key) in MultiBit HD (v.0.1.4/latest version)?

Although I read somewhere xPub is disabled (with contacts) while not supported, it also says MultiBit HD is BIP32 complaint and does support xPub.

Please advice...am kinda lost here; maybe I'm just messing up terms/words/definitions.

Your wallet's xpub is currently not shown on the UI (although we are thinking about it).
This is mainly as it is quite hard to explain to users that if you give anyone your xpub they can see all the contents of your wallet FOREVER.

Anyhow, if you need it you should be able to work it out by taking an offline copy of:
https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/

and using your wallet words.

Check that the first address generated matches the first payment request in your wallet.

The derivation path for the wallet is shown in MultiBit HD in the Manage wallet | Wallet dashboard | Wallet capabilities section.
(It is different for MultiBit HD wallets and 'Trezor/ Keepey' wallets.
