How do you handle versioning?
Up to 1.24.0 we distributed the library as part of the
MotoLogix PLC software package (which included the YaskawaMLx library,
example programs, PDF documentation and fieldbus definition files).
This package was only versioned as a whole.
After 1.24.0 we distribute these as individual parts and apply
semantic versioning on each item.
This means the library itself but also each library component
(data type/function block/function) now has its own versioning and
changelog published.
