When I add a method to remotecontrol I will change the minor version only. An old version of wmsplugin can still use the new version of remotecontrol.
A new version of wmsplugin that needs the new method will not accept older minor versions of remotecontrol.
When I have to do incompatible changes I will change the major version. An older wmsplugin will never try to use a new major version of remotecontrol.
That's why I implemented a == check for the major version and a >= check for the minor version.
