Version numbering is "a.b.c" format. Each program has a list of versions that it will accept from its partner program. The "c" element is really for bug fixes rather than functional changes. The programs should accept any value of the 'c' element, and only care that "a.b" part of the version numbers are acceptable. Version number changes where "a" or "b" elements change are more likely to require compatible changes in the partner program.
