Sorry. Let me try again. The semver definition seems to say that backend changes that don't change the API, still should have the patch version increased.
> Bug fixes not affecting the API increment the patch version New features would either be backward compatible with the API or not, therefore incrementing the major, minor, or patch version. That seems to me to make the need for the plugin version to be redundant. Yes?
