Reading the version number

v1.1.0-build6 has two parts.

The same 1.1.0 with a different build number is different code. When reporting a defect,
please include the build number.

Separately, the 0.1 that appears in package names and paths
(libblinkgtk-0.1.so.0, /usr/share/doc/blinkgtk-0.1/) is the API version and is
independent of the product version — the same convention as GTK4's gtk-4.0 and
WebKitGTK's webkitgtk-6.0. It changes only on incompatible API revisions.
