    13 About the 4.2 version number: starting with this release we use a new versioning scheme in order to make more transparent to users and developers which plugins are compatible with which DM release. A plugin which is e.g. compatible with DM 4.2 is guaranteed run at least in all DM 4.2.x releases without changes. We also use a fixed naming scheme for the plugin binary (.jar) files now (see #603).
