So this is not actually replacing libexample-0.0.5, it is adding libexample-0.0.6, and the loader is smart enough to automatically use that in preference to libexample-0.0.5.
Right
Is that correct? And libexample-0.0.5 stays on the users' systems until they feel like deleting it, but it is ignored by the loader because a fresher version exists.
Yes.
But I don't understand why it's not 0.5.0 and 0.6.0. That is, wouldn't it be a case of incrementing the minor version number, the middle number?
Don't worry about the actual numbers. They are libtool's responsibility. Some systems use different numbering rules, and libtool knows about those special cases.
