Shared library numbering

+

+Mesa 6.5.3 supports the OpenGL 2.0/2.1 API. However, the (unix) +shared library version is still 1.5 (i.e. libGL.so.1.5.xxxxxx). +Bumping the shared library version to 2.x would cause linking problems +with existing OpenGL applications. Since OpenGL 2.x is backward +compatible with OpenGL 1.x the shared library version number doesn't +have to be incremented (which would indicate an incompatible ABI). +

+

+Other OpenGL vendors name their OpenGL 2.x libraries libGL.so.1.0.xxxxx +for the same reason. +
