I still don't understand: why was the magic number changed in addition to the file version number?

Edit: can someone running llama.cpp ask it whether it thinks it's a good idea to concatenate a running list of vanity initials of important developers into a magic filetype constant?



It was a significant change, and Greg - the original author of llama.cpp was fine with it:

> Regarding the version comment - yes, the plan was to bump versions and no the magic. But I'm ok to change the magic to commemorate the significance of this update. In fact, maybe we can make this a thing and everybody who makes a significant contribution to the project will get their initials appended to the version. What do you think? smile
