And that's it. ABI version has very little to do with the release
number. The former describes
the library changes from the point of view of a linker, and the latter
describes the library changes
from the users' point of view. From the users' point of view the
commit mentioned above is
just a bugfix. Removing (overloaded) expairseq::is_polynomial() is a
minor technical detail,
and it does not justify bumping the minor version. (Still it's
important to bump the SONAME
so the linker can find out that this version is not binary compatible
with the previous one).

Correct.

No.

Please do.
Best regards,
