Research direction

Start with samples/zello_world/zello_world.cpp and the zeDriverGetApiVersion call, then compare its reported 1.1 value with the linked Level Zero version documentation and previous-releases list. Determine whether the returned version is expected for the cited Level-Zero and compute-runtime commits, and document the correct relationship or discrepancy.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When running this code (as provided in the zello_world.cpp example:

ze_api_version_t version = {};
zeDriverGetApiVersion(pDriver, &version);
std::cout << "API version: " << to_string(version) << "\n";

it prints the following API version:

API version: 1.1

I am using the latest commit from Level-Zero d84a5a2 and the compute-runtime 21.38.21026. I wonder if the version of the API used should match the one described in the documentation, which should be 1.3.0.

Does the API version number match the API Level-Zero version? In that case, shouldn't it be 1.3.0 instead?
If this is the case, there is no link to version 1.1 here.
