Version Discussion:

Major version number change criteria:
1. Anything that affects on-the-wire interoperability between ldmsd, i.e.
  1. OVIS-(Major-1) cannot talk to OVIS-(Major)
2. Schema changes
  1. Case by case
  2. Regardless document in release notes
3. Configuration files
  1. Case by case
  2. Agree to discuss on as-needed basis based on the change
  3. If for an optional new feature, probably OK since existing configuration files will continue to work without modification
Minor version number change criteria
1. Changes that affect out of tree samplers, e.g. plugin-API changes
2. New features
Fix level version number change
1. Everything else
