"For the next release of MLT (soon) I was thinking of changing the version
scheme to reflect the so version number. IOW (In other words), it
would be like 6.0.0 (or possibly 7.0.0), and the major version will
change when the ABI changes."

Now I can't read this sentance very well. Urban dictionary helped a bit.

Is ABI = Application Binary Interface?

What does "so version number mean" ?

Anyway CMakeList.txt does this on melt versions

# Minimum versions of main dependencies.
set(MLT_MIN_MAJOR_VERSION 0)
set(MLT_MIN_MINOR_VERSION 9)
set(MLT_MIN_PATCH_VERSION 8)

So I guess we don't have to worry because 6.0.0 is going to be greater
than 0.9.8
