I have to srongly disagree here... Major numbers are updated when any
part of the interface changes, and minor numbers are updated when there
are "bug fixes" or non-interface enhancements made to the library.

Your math library shouls then become 1.0 since the interface has changed.

(At least this is how the rest of the *.so.* world does it :)
