Exiv2 and it's interface are still unstable. Thus the 0.x version number
and the use of the simple library versioning mechanism. The API/ABI
change with every version, although sometimes in subtle ways (which is
worse); the current versioning system makes this very clear. The other
versioning system is only meaningful if API/ABI are reasonably stable.
Exiv2 will get there too.
For an example of a subtle API change see
