## Improvements, New Versions and Contributing
The QOI format has been finalized. It was a conscious decision to **not** have a
version number in the file header. If you have a working QOI implementation today,
you can rest assured that it will be compatible with all QOI files tomorrow.
There are a lot of interesting ideas for a successor of QOI, but none of these will
be implemented here. That doesn't mean you shouldn't experiment with QOI, but please
be aware that pull requests that change the format will not be accepted.
Likewise, pull requests for performance improvements will probably not be accepted
either, as this "reference implementation" tries to be as easy to read as possible.
