    minimumhgversion = b'4.6'

Older clients will print a warning that the extension requires a new version,
instead of attempting to load it.

The extension itself can be assigned a version value through one of two module
attributes, and will be displayed in crash reports and  :hg:`version -v`::

  * ``__version__`` is a plain value
  * ``getversion`` is a no argument ``Callable`` that returns a value

numeric values which will be joined with ``.``.
