#Versioning Strategy

Present imeji API versioning strategy is as follows:

only one version of imeji API will be supported at a time
non compatible version releases will have to increase the version number (e.g. to v2, v3 etc.)
smaller modifications of the REST API which will not break client codes will not increase the version number
if users provide a request with e.g. /v1 whereas REST API is already serving version /v2 , system will provide response HTTP 410 Gone

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#4xx_Client_Error

410 Gone Indicates that the resource requested is no longer available and will not be available again. This should be \
used when a resource has been intentionally removed and the resource should be purged. Upon receiving a 410
status code, the client should not request the resource again in the future. Clients such as search engines
should remove the resource from their indices.[16] Most use cases do not require clients and search engines \ to purge the resource, and a "404 Not Found" may be used instead.
if users provide a request without explicit version number, latest available version of the requested operation will be invoked. There will be no guarantee that the operation will work for each client at any times.
Community and users shall be timely informed about any compatible/non-compatible API versions
