[gnuastro-commits] master 0b22ace 2/3: Libtool version defined for librarires

branch: master
commit 0b22aceded5e75a6c6f1d6705c180938fdc2a762

    Libtool version defined for librarires
    
    The GNU Libtool version is now defined for the libraries in
    `lib/Makefile.am'. Note that the versioning of the libraries (which is used
    by the shared library linker) is different from the main Gnuastro version:
    it follows different rules.
    
    Ultimately each release will have a general Gnuastro version that has a
    one-to-one correspondance with a specific library version. The library
    version of each release is also included in the NEWS file.
