What Zach says.

FWIW, I /try/ to adhere to the following policy:

- Every functional change is mentioned in the ChangeLog file,
  "cosmetic" changes and otherwise irrelevant re-organizations
  sometimes aren't.

- For Bugfixes and "small" changes, only the patch version number is
  released (for example from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4), for new functionality or
  bigger changes the minor version is bumped (for example from 0.7.3
  to 0.8.0).  The major version number will only be increased once I'm
  confident that the library is fairly stable - expect this to take
  more time.

- I try to be backwards-compatible if possible.  Incompatible changes
  will be explicitly announced.

HTH,
Edi.
