No, the version code contains three numbers:1) SANE major version number (1 in
the current release)
2) SANE minor version number (0 in the current release)
3) Build - this can be set free by the backend!

The frontends should check if the main version number is 1
because this describes that the backend is combatible to SANE-API 1.x
