Apart from API/ABI changes, notable changes are:

* Changed the license to the Apache License v2.0.

* Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

   - Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
     may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
   - Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
     may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
   - Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
     are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
     features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
     and retain API/ABI compatibility.
