+<h2>Shared library numbering</h2>
+<p>
+Mesa 6.5.3 supports the OpenGL 2.0/2.1 API.  However, the (unix)
+shared library version is still 1.5 (i.e. libGL.so.1.5.xxxxxx).
+Bumping the shared library version to 2.x would cause linking problems
+with existing OpenGL applications.  Since OpenGL 2.x is backward
+compatible with OpenGL 1.x the shared library version number doesn't
+have to be incremented (which would indicate an incompatible ABI).
+</p>
+<p>
+Other OpenGL vendors name their OpenGL 2.x libraries libGL.so.1.0.xxxxx
+for the same reason.
