Versioning on libraries is almost never a good idea, unless you need to link against a specific older version.
Almost always just a breaking API change.
If not, remove the versioning.

I know it is not the best argument but gcc, clang even Kylix allow it.
And sometime it is needed, even if it is a bad idea for you.

I think that this can usefully be xrefed to https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,58888.msg478808.html#msg478808 where somebody points out that

Forty years ago, I wouldn't have given a damn about the behaviour of an inferior language such as gcc or compilers implemented by clang. But these days anybody who says that we can blithely disregard industry expectations is, quite frankly, off his rocker.

Yes, I agree, I should not give gcc or clang as example.
But Xylix, who was part of Delphi project ( and Delphi is the God of fpc ) can be (maybe) a valid argument. ;)
