Please, don't use the 'release' flag for libtool, because it breaks binary compatibility for every new release, even if there are no API changes.
Use only the 'version-info' flag and apply to it the CURRENT:REVISION:AGE form (currently only the 'databox_nano_version' is defining the CURRENT field there, but as the 'release' flag is also used, binary compatibility is broken anyway).
See documentation of libtool:
info libtool

This is done since version 1.0.0, thanks!
Someone please close this ticket.
