/*
 * The change history of the ABI.
 *
 * v12.20
 *  - Added sipGetAssignmentFunction().
 *  - Added sipGetPyTypeRef() and deprecated sipTypeAsPyTypeObject().
 *  - Added sipGetFrameRef() and deprecated sipGetFrame().
 *  - Added sipObjectGuard, sipObjectGuard_New(),
 *    sipObjectGuard_GetModuleState(), sipObjectGuard_GetRef() and
 *    sipObjectGuard_Release().
 *  - Exposed sipParseResultEx() as sipParseResultObject().
 *  - Added definitions of sipGetModuleState(), sipGetModuleStateByType(),
 *    sipGetVoidPtrType(), sipMakeAbsolute() and sipModuleState to aid porting
 *    to ABI v14.
 *
 * v12.19
 *  - Added support for Python v3.15.
 *  - The format use to pickle wrapped types has changed so that it is more
 *    robust and faster.  The legacy format can still be read and will be
 *    converted to the new format when written.  Older versions of the sip
 *    module can already read the new format.
 *  - Added definitions of sipTypeID and sipType_Invalid to aid porting to ABI
 *    v14.
 *
 * v12.18
 *  - Added support for Python v3.14.
 *  - Python v3.10 or later is required.
 *
 * v12.17
 *  - Added SIP_ABI_VERSION as a module attribute.
 *
 * v12.16
 *  - Python v3.9 or later is required.
 *  - Added a new implementation of sipDeprecated() that takes an optional
 *    supplementary message.
 *
 * v12.15
 *  - Added the 'I' conversion character to the argument and result parsers.
 *
 * v12.14
 *  - Added support for Python v3.13.
 *  - Python v3.8 or later is required.
 *  - C99 support is assumed.
 *
 * v12.13
 *  - Added support for Python v3.12.
 *  - Added sipPyTypeDictRef().
 *  - Deprecated sipPyTypeDict().
 *
 * v12.12
 *  - Added the '#' conversion character to the argument parsers.
 *
 * v12.11
 *  - Published the 'array' type.
 *  - Added the ctd_sizeof, ctd_array_delete members to sipClassTypeDef.
 *  - Added the '>' conversion character to the argument parsers.
 *
 * v12.10
 *  - Python v3.7 or later is required.
 *  - Added support for Python v3.11.
 *
 * v12.9
 *  - Added sipNextExceptionHandler().
 *
 * v12.8
 *  - Added a new thread-safe implementation of sipIsPyMethod().
