Important notes:

• Versions are always displayed as Major.Minor (for example, 9.1) in badges, regardless of whether you specify patch versions in the source.
• Each version statement corresponds to the latest patch of the specified minor version (for example, 9.1 represents 9.1.6 if 9.1.6 is the latest patch available for the 9.1 series).
• When critical patch-level differences exist, use plain text descriptions alongside the badge rather than specifying patch versions.
