Versioning Syntax

RICOH Camera USB SDK is versioned in accordance with the following syntax:

{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}

Field Name	Description
MAJOR	Major Version is incremented when some changes that don’t have backwards-compatibility with functionality occur.
MINOR	Minor Version is incremented when some interfaces are changed or added while keep having backwards-compatibility with functionality. In this case, some build errors and other compatible issues may occur in your existing applications.
PATCH	Patch Version is incremented when some security fixes and bug fixes are made while keep having backwards-compatibility with functionality. In this case, existing application build and compatibility with functionality is guaranteed.
