As far as I can tell, the versioning scheme is not documented anywhere.
Assuming that semantic versioning is in use, I'd expect the following:

Pre 1.0.0: 0.y.a is ABI compatible with 0.y.b
Post 1.0.0: x.a.b is ABI compatible with x.c.d

HIDAPI is being under version 0.x.y since forever, and by far I don't think we're close to 1.x.y.
Practically speaking, each new HIDAPI release always been API/ABI backward compatible with previouse releases.
There has been only one patch release (I guess current HIDAPI versioning can matches the semantic versioning) so far, and next release is going to be a minor version upgrade as well.

Thanks for the info.
Should this be documented somewhere (perhaps in the wiki)?
