I honestly find confusing to associate two distinct version numbers with 
Boost.GIL, but since we have our own version number, I agree we should 
bump it to indicate the API changes. (I wouldn't go as far as thinking 
in terms of semantic versioning, though, so a version bump is just a 
bump, without any metric. :-) )

Thanks,

Stefan
