## v1.0-v1.2 Versions

`xl.meta` carries three types of object entries which designate the type of version object stored.

- ObjectType (default)
- LegacyObjectType (preserves existing deployments and older xl.json format)
- DeleteMarker (a versionId to capture the DELETE sequences implemented primarily for AWS spec compatibility)

	// Breaking changes.
	// Newer versions cannot be read by older software.
	// This will prevent downgrades to incompatible versions.
	xlVersionMajor = 1

	// Bumping this is informational, but should be done

- To be able to easily get the temporary credentials to upload to a prefix. Make it possible for a client to upload a whole folder using the session. The server side applications need not create a presigned URL and serve to the client for each file. Since, the client would have the session it can do it by itself.
