 === Major & Minor versions ===
-Major version is updated when an incompatible change is integrated in the format (a lib made for a version N will probably not be able to read a version N+1)
-Minor version is updated when an compatible change is integrated (a lib made for a minor version n will be able to read a version n+1)
-The minor version can be :
-* 0 : We use the old namespace usage (see [[ZIM file format old namespace]])
-* 1 : We use the new namespace usage (describe here).
-* 2 : Means that libzim (reference implementation) allow to create alias entries (Several entries pointing to the same cluster/blob). This was already allowed by specification, this is hint only.
