Please bump the library version when introducing incompatible API changes about qhexedit2 HOT 4 CLOSED

Thank you for this advice and I'm sorry for this and the inconvenience caused to you.

I have changed the library version from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1. This seems not to be enough.

Have I to change it to 2.2.0 or to 3.0.0. Hint: this is really a minimal change and I simply lack the imagination in how this change could break rebuilds.

No worries. A list of which changes are incompatible is described i.e. in chapter 3.6 of [1]. The meaning of the digits X.Y.Z in the library version are:

X: major digit, increment on backwards incompatible ABI release
Y: minor digit, increment on backwards compatible ABI release
Z: release digit, internal changes only - no change to the ABI

The rules for updating are:

• ABI extended but backwards compatible: bump minor
• ABI changed in a backwards incompatible way: bump major, reset minor

To my knowledge there is little use in bumping Z and it can always stay 0.
