# From python packaging guides
# versioning is a 3-part MAJOR.MINOR.MAINTENANCE numbering scheme,
# where the project author increments:

# MAJOR version when they make incompatible API changes,
# MINOR version when they add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
# MAINTENANCE version when they make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
