Hi Mattia, I definitely thought about ABI stability but I'm not super experienced how to ensure it for C++ libraries. I think the API review and hierarchy chances I will be helpful also to ensure there will be less ABI changes. I never fixed SONAME during compilation: at the right moment I may ask for some help.
I'm also realizing that what is boiling in PoDoFo-next is already a C++20 library (I extensively use std::span[1] and std::format[2]), with the possibility of being able to compile with a C++17 compiler using some fillers. Aiming for inclusion in a distribution I should make sure the compilation defaults to C++20, with C++17 support that is only voluntarily/optionally enabled (and persisted in a the build configuration header) otherwise this may cause ABI issues when mismatching C++ compilation compliance level flags.
