However, consider: - Imlib2 is intended to supersede Imlib - Imlib2 and Imlib were written by the same author - There will never be a successor to libImlib.so.1 which uses libImlib.so.2 as its soname So what difference does it make if the library is called libImlib2.so.1 versus libImlib.so.2? None really, except that one unnecessarily includes a number in the library /name/, and the other increments the library /version/. Which makes one much less cumbersome than the other.
