</div>I'll play the Devil's advocate here, sorry: does this mean that 0.1.0<br>
will be SONAME-compatible with 0.1.1?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>The SONAME only uses the first two numbers. It means I reserve the possibility to have minor bugs fixed and leave that to that last number. However, you will not see that I use something != *.*.0 in a release. Also, what is definitely true is that two libraries with different major (i.e. first) or minor (i.e. second) release numbers are not guaranteed to be binary compatible. </div>

CLISP provides a similar situation, but we (i.e. Debian) decided to ship<br>
only one version. What's your advice here?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I do not think it is politically correct to ask the maintainer of one implementation how the packaging of a different one should go, so please excuse if I do not answer that question.</div>
