[wp-hackers] Plugin Version Increments

[Alexander Beutl]

Because they added so much stuff that everything was broken afterwards ;-)
just kidding but there were many changes and additions - (just think about

shortcodes,...) that someone decided this are too many changes for a single
subversion jump while there are not many enogh for a mayer version jump.
