A note on version numbers

We decided to jump from 2.0.x to 2.2.x to avoid a confusion with the iOS version 2.1.x which could give the impression that the iOS version is newer than the desktop releases.

MIDI Guitar and MIDI Bass releases are now unified and will follow the same versioning scheme, with the only difference that MIDI Bass is at major version 1, not 2.
