Updating backend version info

[Olaf Meeuwissen]

Hi Allan,

While going through the changes since RELEASE_1_0_25 I realized that I
did not update each backend's version info. I've been happily fixing
compiler warning and touched just about every backend. Some have had
their version info modified for other reasons and are probably okay but
should I go and update backend version info?

# Not looking forward to this, to be honest.

If so, what part of the version info? The standard seems to suggest the
minor version ought to be updated.

Hope this helps,

I have never bumped backend version numbers for backends with a
maintainer, I leave that to them.

Given how few places we show the backend version number, I would not
worry about fixing this for any patches you have applied from the bug
tracker.

Thanks! Saves me a pile of work.
