How is it versioned?
vrd is pre-1.0 and follows Semantic Versioning. Its policies aim to keep the output for a given seed the same between patch releases and to name any method whose output changes in the CHANGELOG. While the version is 0.0.x, read every release's notes before upgrading: 0.0.10 and 0.0.11 both changed outputs.
