"Occasionally", you say. If I understand correctly, you say that
between 1.13 and 1.19 (for example) not all soname bumps were
warranted.
No that's absolutely *not* what I said.
I pointed out that the large majority of the recent base library
releases (including the latest one) did *not* change the soname!
I expect the next one on the unstable branch probably will need to
change the soname, because it is likely that it will adopt the new
MacOS-X 10.5 NSInteger and NSUinteger etc behaviors for 64bit
processors (currently you have to turn that compatibility on) which
will break binary compatibility on 64bit machines.
