## # version:

Each plugin may carry its own version number:

    # version: 0.5

Which makes sense as features progress independly of the main application.
It's the whole point of plugin systems to encapsulate functionality.

  * Often it suffices to use MINOR.MAJOR schemes.

  * For larger plugins the more common SEMVER versioning might make sense
    still.

  * Patch versions etc. however shouldn't be part of the `version:` field.

Instead one can use [state:](wiki/state), [priority:](wiki/other-fields) or [support:](wiki/other-fields) to expand
on the current code quality/completion.
