Hi

that kind of versioning has been used by Qt libraries for many years -
and in QGIS we try to do the same thing: v1.0 has defined a stable
API, in further v1.x releases we have only added new functionality,
not removing anything. v1.x.y releases (if any) then contained only
fixes, no API changes.
