Hi,
the above link returns no results to me.

Is there any requirement to bump the major version when changing API in
the libical project? I usually do not bump the major version when
changing API, I do change the soname versions (which are versioned
independently from the actual project version).
Just as an example, I do not like the way FireFox versioning is done,
they'll reach version 100 "soon", but what it is good for is unknown to
me. I prefer to use major version changes for really major changes in
the project, like when switching from gtk2 to gtk3, the evolution
projects switched from 2.x.x to 3.x.x. It's still 3.y.y despite
changing API several times during the time.
Bye,
Milan
