Wiping of user data

Wiping of user data is sometimes necessary, the following circumstances should be noted:

1. If the device is on any version prior to 0.4.4 an upgrade will wipe user data
2. If the MAJOR or MINOR version changes an upgrade will wipe user data
3. If the PATCH version changes, wiping of data will NOT occur
