Sorry, I probably don't understand the current versioning scheme very
well -- is there canonical documentation i should read about its
semantics?

I would normally guess that a "major release" meant a change in the
first value (e.g. from 1.x to 2.0). I tend to favor the simplest
versioning scheme that provides the semantic flexibility needed by the
project.

This is pretty much bike-shedding, though, and whatever folks are
comfortable with is fine with me.
