Thank you very much for your help and comments. > libbitfield$SOVERSION (shared library) > libbitfield-dev (development files)
Done. Package name changed from 'bitfield' to 'libbitfield' and SOVERSION is set to 1, so we get: libbitfield1 libbitfield-dev > If you don't have soversioning in place, then it probably means that your > software is still too volatile for you to think about a stable ABI / API.

Version (1.0.0) has been released. Best regards, Vitalie Ciubotaru
