While updating to 0.3.4b from an earlier branch, I noticed that the age component in the library version is set to 1 (4:3:1 specifically), which is causing the .so to be generated as .so.3 instead of .so.4.
I was curious if that was intentional or not, since the last few releases have all been .so.4.
I didn't really understand how the versioning worked until I started investigating why it was coming out this way now, and thought perhaps the age field had been mistakenly incremented instead of the revision field to represent the minor change.
Just wanted to make sure either way...

You're right, I messed up the library version, should be 4:4:0, not 4:3:1. Has been fixed in CVS.
