==== 4.5.1 Assigning ====

The major and minor versions of a package are assigned by the package provider. It is recommended that the initial implementation of a package be assigned a major version of 1 and a minor version of 0. However, any values may be chosen. It is also recommended that when either a major or a minor version is incremented, it is incremented exactly by 1. 

A major version must be changed when a new implementation of a package is not binary compatible with the previous implementation. The value of the new major version must be greater than the major version of the previous implementation. When a major version is changed, the associated minor version must be assigned the value of 0. 

When a new implementation of a package is binary compatible with the previous implementation, it must be assigned a major version equal to the major version of the previous implementation. The minor version assigned to the new implementation must be greater than the minor version of the previous implementation.
