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. + + ## Tools - https://github.com/floooh/qoiview - native QOI viewer
