-/**
- * An annotation that indicates the version number since a member or a type has been present.
- * This annotation is useful to manage versioning of your Json classes for a web-service.
- *
- * <p>
- * This annotation has no effect unless you build {@link com.google.gson.Gson} with a
- * {@link com.google.gson.GsonBuilder} and invoke
- * {@link com.google.gson.GsonBuilder#setVersion(double)} method.
- *
- * <p>Here is an example of how this annotation is meant to be used:</p>
- * <pre>
- * public class User {
- *   private String firstName;
- *   private String lastName;
- *   &#64Since(1.0) private String emailAddress;
- *   &#64Since(1.0) private String password;
- *   &#64Since(1.1) private Address address;
- * }
- * </pre>
- *
- * <p>If you created Gson with {@code new Gson()}, the {@code toJson()} and {@code fromJson()}
- * methods will use all the fields for serialization and deserialization. However, if you created
- * Gson with {@code Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setVersion(1.0).create()} then the
- * {@code toJson()} and {@code fromJson()} methods of Gson will exclude the {@code address} field
- * since it's version number is set to {@code 1.1}.</p>
