This is a bit of a problem, it means users will need to hand-edit their config file every time they upgrade. Were you able to work out what changed between releases that has made this necessary? dlopen(3) should be quite capable of locating the library from the basename without specifying the particular version... Alternatively, does it even make sense to give this a versioned filename? Plugins for e.g. php, apache and others typically just use unversioned names.
