Unexpected version numbering of installed libraries

[Jari Häkkinen]

Doing ls -rtl /usr/local/lib after installation of yat 0.3.1 gives

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel      831 Sep 19 20:09 libyat.la*
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel       18 Sep 19 20:09 libyat.dylib@ -> libyat.0.0.0.dylib
-rw-r--r--    1 root  wheel  1120420 Sep 19 20:09 libyat.a
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel       18 Sep 19 20:09 libyat.0.dylib@ -> libyat.0.0.0.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root  wheel   630788 Sep 19 20:09 libyat.0.0.0.dylib*

I would like to see 0.0.0 replaced with 0.3.1.

Before you decide what you wanna see, you should read ​http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Libtool-versioning and ​http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Updating-version-info

From link above

Never try to set the interface numbers so that they correspond to the release number of your package. This is an abuse that only fosters misunderstanding of the purpose of library versions. Instead, use the `-release' flag (see Release numbers), but be warned that every release of your package will not be binary compatible with any other release.

changeset:1097 fixes this. ReleaseProcedure was also changed.
