X-Git-Tag: v2017.05-rc2~19

env: add a version number to check API

Changes in the environment library are difficult to tracked by programs
using the library. Add simply an API version number that must be
increased each time when the API is changed.

This can be detected and a program can work with different versions of
the library.
