New versions are not just numbers. They are an arbitrary collection of new 
features and modified features. Nobody, not even the author, will remember which 
feature goes with which version number.

My recommendation is to use version identifiers for each of those features that 
changed that matter to your program. It's rarely more than a handful. It'll make 
your code a pleasure to read, too.
