Hi, I would like to take this to discuss one thing I thought about when working on log4cxx and creating the Debian packages: Is 0.9.8 really the correct version number? Background: The SO_NAME of the 0.9.7 library was "9", so we have to change it before log4cxx is released, because 0.9.8 is not binary compatible with 0.9.7. Straightforward, we should change the SO_NAME to "10". Then, things would be more clear if the release version is called 0.10, so that subsequent (binary compatible) bugfix releases can be named 0.10.1, 0.10.2, and so on. Any comments?
Good point. The 0.9.8 name was just a continuation of the existing pattern.
