Template JSON seems to refer to "version" but Amazon documentation is different

The Amazon documentation here:

https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-presentation-language/import-export-apl-documents.html#import-apl-document

And here:

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/G/01/mobile-apps/dex/ask-apl/c3e17f7b-cheat-sheets/APL-CS-2023-3.pdf

Refer to "version" as being the version number of APL which is like "2023.3". The sample uses "1.6".
It could be the reson many Echo SHow 5 3rd Gen people cannot use the code because this device does not yet support "2023.3".

Has this been tested using such a version number? And what does "1.6" refer to?

See https://community.home-assistant.io/t/alexa-skill-to-display-lovelace-dashboards-on-echo-show/397632/87 for more information. It would be nice to understand if this is incorrect and get it working on 3rd Gen Show 5.
