I think we should do that in 1.4.0betaN+1 - there's no reason to skip to 1.4.1. It just means that the shared library will be libpng14.so.1, rather than libpng14.so.0. The number '0' (current) or '1' (proposed) is hardwired in Makefile.am That looks like a major release, but since 1.4.0 is still in beta the preceding major - libpng14.so.0 - was never public. Notice that in 1.4.x 'x' is the *minor* release. So we have: libpng 1.2.9 --> libpng12.so.0.9.0 libpng 1.2.10 --> libpng12.so.0.10.0 libpng 1.4.0 --> libpng14.so.0.0.0 (currently) libpng 1.4.0 --> libpng14.so.1.0.0 (proposed) The 'compatibility' named library (libpng.so.3) shouldn't be generated by 1.4 (at least, I think that is what we agreed - there is absolutely no reason to generate it!)
