+The <i>API version number</i> refers to the plugin API version number of the VDR
+version this plugin was compiled with. Compiled plugins can run with newer versions
+of VDR as long as their plugin API version number is still the same as that of
+the current VDR version. That way minor fixes to VDR, that don't require changes
+to the VDR header files, can be made without requiring all plugins to be
+recompiled.
