1:2:0 Notes from libtool's info pages: libtool library versions are described by three integers: CURRENT The most recent interface number that this library implements. REVISION The implementation number of the CURRENT interface. AGE The difference between the newest and oldest interfaces that this library implements. In other words, the library implements all the interface numbers in the range from number `CURRENT - AGE' to `CURRENT'. If two libraries have identical CURRENT and AGE numbers, then the dynamic linker chooses the library with the greater REVISION number. 1. Start with version information of `0:0:0' for each libtool library. 2. Update the version information only immediately before a public release of your software. More frequent updates are unnecessary, and only guarantee that the current interface number gets larger faster. 3. If the library source code has changed at all since the last update, then increment REVISION (`C:R:A' becomes `C:r+1:A'). 4. If any interfaces have been added, removed, or changed since the last update, increment CURRENT, and set REVISION to 0. 5. If any interfaces have been added since the last public release, then increment AGE. 6. If any interfaces have been removed since the last public release, then set AGE to 0.
