ishanthakur41> Hi , ishanthakur41> Why Building OpenSSL 1.0.2h generates ishanthakur41> libss.so.1.0.0/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and not ishanthakur41> libssl.so.1.0.2/libcrypto.so.1.0.2 ? Shared library versions aren't the same as software versions. As long as shared libraries are backward compatible on the ABI level, you maintain the same shared library version. We recognised that our shared library version numbering was confusing, so from OpenSSL version 1.1.0 and up, the shared library version retains the two first digits of the OpenSSL version only, which reflects our intent that for any versions x.y.z where x.y stays the same, ABI backward compatibility will be maintained.
