Previous commits removed some symbols and broke ABI, therefore we need to change SONAME. See the following quotes from distribution guidelines: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#run-time-shared-libraries Every time the shared library ABI changes in a way that may break binaries linked against older versions of the shared library, the SONAME of the library and the corresponding name for the binary package containing the runtime shared library should change. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_downstream_so_name_versioning When new versions of the library are released, you should use an ABI comparison tool to check for ABI differences in the built shared libraries. If it detects any incompatibilities, bump the n number by one.
