- The API version determines the codes Application Programmable Interface. During an API version, we guarantee that the API will not change. Updating minor versions will still have the same API within these version series. The 'master' branch of our git repo tracks the API version.

- The Patch version (assumed 0 if not specified) is reserved for bug fixes and does not add any new features.
