 The ltasip.py file can be generated from the LTA SIP schema. Make sure you have installed pyxb (pip install pyxb):

 **Getting Started**
 
 This library is somewhat work in progress, so there is not yet a real end user documentation in that sense. 
 
 But there is some inline documentation in [lib/siplib.py](siplib.py) and you may want to check out [test/example.py](example.py) to see how this can be used.
+
+
+**Versioning**
+
+The initial version of the siblib in this repo is version 0.4
+
+Because the siplib is strongly coupled to the SIP xsd, the version numbering of the siplib will match with the version of the xsd schema which is 2.8.0 now.
