>libdbi utilizes <A
HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/"
TARGET="_top"
>libtool</A
> to manage the library in a platform-independent fashion. libtool uses an abstract library versioning scheme which consists of three numbers:</P
><P
></P
><DIV
CLASS="VARIABLELIST"
><DL
><DT
>current</DT
><DD
><P
>This is the number of the current interface. The first "incarnation" is usually 0 (zero), the next version that adds or subtracts something from this interface would be 1 (think of new API functions or functions with altered parameter lists).</P
></DD
><DT
>revision</DT
><DD
><P
>This number counts the released changes of the interface which do not alter the interface (think of internal optimizations, bugfixes and so on)</P
></DD
><DT
>age</DT
><DD
><P
>This is the number of previous interfaces that the current version is backwards-compatible with. That is, if <CODE
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>current</CODE
> is "n", programs linked against "n", "n-1", and "n-2" will run with the current version.</P
></DD
></DL
></DIV
><P
>The package version number (major.minor.patch) is computed from the above numbers using the formulas:</P

><UL
><LI
><P
>major = current - age</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>minor = age + 8</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>patch = revision</P
></LI
></UL
><P
>The correction applied to <CODE
CLASS="VARNAME"
>minor</CODE
> is currently required to bring the package version in line with earlier releases which did not use proper libtool interface versioning. It will be dropped if <CODE
CLASS="VARNAME"
>major</CODE
> rises above zero.</P
