It would be good for everyone to read the Libtool documentation to see why versioning on the release number would be a really bad idea. Then comment. But my opinion would be that you should change based on interface changes, not based on release numbers.

Yes, I second Brian.  Notwithstanding what the popular vote is on MPI
ABI compatibility across MPI implementations, I think that
major/minor numbering within an implementation should be used to
indiciate when interfaces break, not give hints as to what release
they pertain to.

I agree with the above sentiment too.
