Sorry for the breakage this has caused.

However minor API version bumps are supposed to introduce new API but not
break existing one. They are needed to make sure packages built against sip
get proper dependencies. When the major version changes, we indeed use
transitions.

See <https://riverbankcomputing.com/hg/sip/file/tip/siplib/sip.h.in#l62>.

I will look at this bug a bit later.
