No, they are not reversed. The old version number was 0.1
(major.minor) and now it is 1.0. So the major version number also
changes and of course we then reset the minor version number back to
zero:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 o  Major Version (4 bits) - indicates the major version of the ISAKMP
    protocol in use.  Implementations based on this version of the ISAKMP
    Internet-Draft MUST set the Major Version to 1.  Implementations
    based on previous versions of ISAKMP Internet-Drafts MUST set the
    Major Version to 0.  Implementations SHOULD never accept packets with
    a major version number larger than its own.

 o  Minor Version (4 bits) - indicates the minor version of the ISAKMP
    protocol in use.  Implementations based on this version of the ISAKMP
    Internet-Draft MUST set the Minor Version to 0.  Implementations
    based on previous versions of ISAKMP Internet-Drafts MUST set the
    Minor Version to 1.  Implementations SHOULD never accept packets with
    a minor version number larger than its own, given the major version
    numbers are identical.
