From: Jan Engelhardt Date: 2016-06-30 13:50:19.632475047 +0200 The documentation has the phrase "The API is not yet 100% stable, so we do not yet guarantee ABI forward compatibility. We will do so, once we increase the shared library version above 1.0." [Wrong premise. On the technical level, API/ABI stability does not need to be guaranteed at all, nor is there a requirement that it has to happen/start at a particular time, nor at a particular version like "1.0". What you MUST do is that *if* the ABI/API changes, change the SONAME.] Add -release to address https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Shared_library_packaging_policy#When_there_is_no_versioning point 3.
