 * In the version number, please use major version when introducing breaking changes.
   
   E.g. When you in 2.7.2 changed the minimum WordPress version from 6.3 to 6.4,
   it’s a breaking change and the version should change to 3.0.0 🙂In the enterprise,
   we move slower than the rest, and I had to do a redeployment (my acceptance test
   caught the “error”: `Failed to activate plugin. Current WordPress version (6.3.5)
   does not meet minimum requirements for Simple Page Ordering. The plugin requires
   WordPress 6.4`.)
