Here is my understanding of linux standards for shared libraries:

Example:
thing.so -> thing.so.1
thing.so.1 -> thing.so.1.2.3
thing.so.1.2.3 (the real file)

GNU linkers (and others) embed shared library information into the final
product in the form thing.so.1, so that the library can undergo patch
updates (EG. 1.2.3 -> 1.2.4) without requiring the application to be
recompiled.

V/R,
William
