No. -version-info is 0:0:0 by default and we consider wayland-1.0 the
first version so we don't have to specify it. libtool takes care of it
automatically. When we modify the API the first time, we need to
increase this. I think Kristian will do this properly when doing new
releases.
But please do not put any other version-information into the
file-names. I cannot think of any reason to do this. Can you explain
why you want this?

Cheers
David
