In that case v22.1 is a reasonable version number to use. I mentioned this because often projects write great extra features but their users only find out years/months later when they upgrade to another new version. This is because the authors have only incremented the version number by a small amount the first time, so users don't notice. That doesn't sound like what's happening here though.
