Note that beta versions on the same fix release (1.0.z should be ABI
compatible. Only when the major or minor release changes there should
be ABI breakers (that is when x or y in x.y.z changes).

Also as the patch level (the letter after version) changes there should
be strictly only bugfixes, these should be even forward-backwards
compatible.

So for the after 1.0 versions I'd suggest the version_mask to be
~0xfffffL
