Explicit Versioning for Enhanced Security Assessments

[npennock]

The absence of clear versioning makes it difficult for users and security professionals to assess whether a specific instance of this library is affected by a reported vulnerability.

Explicit versioning is crucial for conducting comprehensive and accurate security assessments.

For instance, when a security vulnerability is identified, clear versioning allows us to determine which versions of the software are affected and need patching or updates. Without this information, users may be exposed to potential security risks unknowingly, or they may have to expend unnecessary resources to evaluate the entire codebase instead of a specific version.

Please add explicit versioning in this repository.
