A note about versions codes: Versions are split into 4 numbers (i.e. "v1.0.0.0"). These numbers are referred to, respectively, as the Major version, the Minor version, the Build version, and the Revision version. The major version will rarely change. It will be 0 for preview builds and 1 for full-release. The minor version will only increase when there's a major new addition or change of features. The build version will be updated with any minor addition or update to features that might break previous code. The Revision version is increased when a change is made that does not break any existing code (i.e. new maps). So, when the first three increase, it is possible that pre-existing AI code won't build and will need to be updated, but if only the Revision version changes, everything should be fully backwards-compatible.
