Version constants and functions

The constants defined here follow those given in the C headers.

  • They are typically updated only following a new major release of PA.
  • They are not typically updated following a new minor release of PA. i.e. we may declare version 12.0 here, but remain compatible with all 12.x, so long as PA itself continues to adhere to semantic versioning (i.e. no breaking changes in minor releases).
  • They are not the minimum compatible PA version. We have feature flags for providing backwards compatibility with a limited number of past major versions.

Currently:

  • We primarily target PA version 12.x
  • We have backwards compatibility with PA version 11.x (and it is believed 10.x) if the pa_encoding_from_string feature flag is disabled.

When feature flags are used for backwards compatibility, the versions defined here (as of version 1.4) are adjusted to return the newest compatible major version.

The get_library_version function always obtains at runtime the version of the actual PA library in use.
