* Version 4, based on random numbers (RFC-4122)
* Version 5, based on SHA-1 hashing of a named value (RFC-4122)

This package also supports experimental Universally Unique Identifier implementations based on a
[draft RFC](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format) that updates RFC-4122
* Version 6, a k-sortable id based on timestamp (draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format, RFC-4122)
* Version 7, a k-sortable id based on timestamp with variable precision (draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format, RFC-4122)

The v6 and v7 IDs are **not** considered a part of the stable API, and may be subject to behavior or API changes as part of minor releases
to this package. They will be updated as the draft RFC changes, and will become stable if and when the draft RFC is adopted into RFC-4122

will become stable if and when the draft RFC is adopted into RFC-4122

will become stable if and when the draft RFC is accepted.
