I'm not a Linux expert but I believe the convention under Linux is: liblog4cxx.so.MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD
Having many years elapsed since the last liblog4cxx release I think it would be less confusing for Linux developers using the log4cxx library to see the next version of the library increment to 10.1.0. It makes more sense to increment the MINOR number than the BUILD number. Thus personaly I would prefer the next release version to be liblog4cxx.so.10.1.0 Once you made up your own mind about which version numbering you will use to release the library it is possible to commit an RC4 with the LT_VERSION set for the next release version in file configure.ac. We would like to get a snapshot of the GIT repository and thoroughly test the new candidate release. We have a product that uses the log4cxx library with both Windows and Linux.

Since the API doesn't change do you expect to > set LT_VERSION to have liblog4cxx.so.11.0.0 or liblog4cxx.so.10.1.0 Why not liblog4cxx.so.10.0.1? That's how I understand the docs in configure.ac and I could try to implement a default increment of LT_VERSION in the release-scripts available currently. LT_VERSION=10:1:0 -> liblog4cxx.so.10.0.1 LT_VERSION=11:0:0 -> liblog4cxx.so.11.0.0 One of those is what I would prefer. While using the last line might be wrong if no breaking interface was introduced, auto-incrementing it should always work as well.
