I am shocked/confused.

Does that mean SCAN field and menuScan semantics will change from
3.14.12.3 to 3.14.12.4? I thought it was agreed upon to only make bug
fixes when increasing the patch level version (i.e. the 4th part of the
version number). New features would have to be in 3.15 or 3.14.13.

Could you clarify the versioning policy, please?

Cheers
