Correspondents filter in Document view doesn't filter about paperless-desktop HOT 3 OPEN

Hm, I see that this might have to do with a changed django-filter API mentioned here: the-paperless-project/paperless#412
Seems like the API request needs to be something like api/documents/?correspondent__slug__contains=lemontorge now, at least this works in the paperless browser API and a quick change in paperless-desktop revives the filter functionality...

I guess a clean fix would need to check paperless' version and adapt to it?

While reading the first lines of your comment I thought: "It would be awesome to retrieve the version number of Paperless, otherwise we'll eventually loose backwards compatibility".
I could imagine a dedicated endpoint in paperless that responds with a version number, or sending the version number as an HTTP header in response to every request. That way Paperless Desktop could initially perform a GET on any ressource of Paperless and determine the version number and if none is returned assume a version number lower than X. Where X is the point in time that the version number retrieval was implemented.

Or let the user select the version number in Paperless Desktop
