According to the freeBSD link that was posted here, the third number is completely ignored by the ldconfig process.

Let's start at 1. > As I've read somewhere on Debian's documentation, the 0 means that the library API is still at an unstable period and it might change and break freely. I believe the 0 is a suitable so version for libitl at this moment. We still need more consistency in style and design of the library API between the Hijri and prayer modules. The hijri, for example, could use a wrapper for the two supported methods of calculation in a single function. Also, and I'm not sure if I'm being pedantic here, but there is this_this and thisThis at the API level that may have to change as well. Salaam, Thamer Mahmoud
