Yes. See the handbook's "policy" section for more detail. * In this case, it means that the library has undergone one non-backwards * -compatible change (1.x to 2.1) and one backwards-compatible change * (2.1 to 2.2). Two. The first 2.X version is 2.0. :) Actually, I believe we bumped all libraries to 2.0 when we released FreeBSD 2.0R, which was based on a different codebase from 1.*.
