🔖 Versions
Version numbers follow Semantic Versioning. However, the update from 3 to 4 pertains only API incompatible changes in oxt_extract and not the spellchecking component. The update from 4 to 5 removed support for Python 2, GTK 2, pylocales, and the oxt_extract API. Otherwise, the API is still compatible with version 3.
