Description
It is useful for users and devs to know what version of a specification is supported in a parser.
For example, this PR, https://github.com/apache/commons-imaging/pull/269, is about PNG 1.2 Specification, Version 1.5.0. But it is not easy to know what version we are currently supporting.
In some cases, that help also help to decide whether we should merge or postpone pull requests, based on other features, or things missing from the spec that must be implemented.
And it is obviously helpful to users of the API to know what version of the spec we support too.
