I assume that there was some added API that caused the CURRENT version number to increase. Since the soname did not change (AGE was also bumped), anything that was built against version 0.10 will continue to work with 0.10.1 without being rebuilt. If there was no added API, and none removed, then only the revision should have been touched, of course. http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libtool.html#Updating-version-info Peter
