That's a point, especially in view of the changes expected for the next 
versions. I will ask distributors to hold back and will release a new 
version 0.14 within two weeks with the -version-info versioning system 
enabled and whatever bugs fixed that come up until then. This will then 
become a stable branch for a while (0.14.x). In parallel, 0.15 (or 
maybe another number to make it clearer) and onwards will get the TIFF 
write support and some features with major API changes. Does that work 
out with digikam's release plans?

In the meantime please test 0.13 to make sure it is useful and can be 
the basis for such a stable version. Feedback any problems to the exiv2 
group or bug tracker, we shouldn't take-over this list ;)
