Change regarding Versioning

Going forward and starting with this release, we shall bump the minor version number (middle tupple of version number) on any new functionality per npm SEMVER.

Previously we were often just bumping the patch number (last tupple), but patches are meant for bug fixes that do not introduce any new functionality. The interface for a minor version bump is non-breaking/backwards compatible. It may however be expanded (new parameters); just so long as it doesn't break existing code.

Change regarding pull requests

Going forward and starting with this release, we shall be switching over to the single-item-per-PR paradigm (where "item" is a bug fix or new feature implementation).

Previously we were putting an entire release's items into a single branch/PR with separate commits per item. This was easy to work with for me as the only active contributor because commits therein could be based on earlier commits without intermediate merges. Besides not being conducive to multiple contributors, however, it was difficult (impossible really) to get anyone to code review a big PR. Doing so requires reviewing each commit one by one. GitHub conversations are better supported at the PR level rather than at the commit level.

Also, note that constant rebasing is not necessary just to move the commit ahead of develop before the merge. The resulting git log leap-frogging railroad diagrams are still easily comprehensible. Only rebase when there are are actual merge conflicts (which GitHub checks will tell you). After all, during a PR merge, git applies the exact same merge algorithms as would be performed in a rebase with no conflicts.

A release PR (merge-to-master) also reflect a final PR that bumps the version number.

This change in strategy should make reviewing less daunting and hopefully we'll get more feedback before merging.
