With the 16.1.0 release, there have been a few issues related to whether this minor / feature release is expected to be ABI stable or expected to have bumped the so version.: - https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/41659 - https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/41679 - https://github.com/conda-forge/arrow-cpp-feedstock/pull/1409 Our release scripts _do_ bump the so version for minor releases, as has been discussed and implemented around the time of the first 1.0.0 release (https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/4801, [mailing list thread](https://lists.apache.org/thread/r1ztq38xz5tn4p4v0xc1xk2d8x82p84v)). However, we don't document this policy anywhere AFAIK (and there was clearly also confusion about this among the committers as well). We should document this in the C++ docs somewhere, that the so version is bumped for every major and minor version, and thus consequently that bug-fix releases are expected to be ABI stable. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
