 /* Numeric release version identifier:
- * MMNNFFRBB: major minor fix final beta/patch
+ * MNNFFPPS: major minor fix patch status
+ * The status nibble has one of the values 0 for development, 1 to e for betas
+ * 1 to 14, and f for release.  The patch level is exactly that.
  * For example:
  * 0.9.3-dev      0x00903000
- * 0.9.3beta1     0x00903001
- * 0.9.3beta2-dev 0x00903002
- * 0.9.3beta2     0x00903002
- * 0.9.3          0x00903100
- * 0.9.3a         0x00903101
- * 0.9.4          0x00904100
- * 1.2.3z         0x1020311a
+ * 0.9.3-beta1    0x00903001
+ * 0.9.3-beta2-dev 0x00903002
+ * 0.9.3-beta2    0x00903002 (same as ...beta2-dev)
+ * 0.9.3          0x0090300f
+ * 0.9.3a         0x0090301f
+ * 0.9.4          0x0090400f
+ * 1.2.3z         0x102031af
+ *
+ * For continuity reasons (because 0.9.5 is already out, and is coded
+ * 0x00905100), between 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 the coding of the patch level
+ * part is slightly different, by setting the highest bit.  This means
+ * that 0.9.5a looks like this: 0x0090581f.  At 0.9.6, we can start
+ * with 0x0090600S...
+ *
  * (Prior to 0.9.3-dev a different scheme was used: 0.9.2b is 0x0922.)
+ * (Prior to 0.9.5a beta1, a different scheme was used: MMNNFFRBB for
+ *  major minor fix final patch/beta)

+/* The macros below are to be used for shared library (.so, .dll, ...)
+ * versioning.  That kind of versioning works a bit differently between
+ * operating systems.  The most usual scheme is to set a major and a minor
+ * number, and have the runtime loader check that the major number is equal
+ * to what it was at application link time, while the minor number has to
+ * be greater or equal to what it was at application link time.  With this
+ * scheme, the version number is usually part of the file name, like this:
+ *
+ *      libcrypto.so.0.9
+ *
+ * Some unixen also make a softlink with the major verson number only:
+ *
+ *      libcrypto.so.0
+ *
+ * On Tru64 and IRIX 6.x it works a little bit differently.  There, the
+ * shared library version is stored in the file, and is actually a series
+ * of versions, separated by colons.  The rightmost version present in the
+ * library when linking an application is stored in the application to be
+ * matched at run time.  When the application is run, a check is done to
+ * see if the library version stored in the application matches any of the
+ * versions in the version string of the library itself.
+ * This version string can be constructed in any way, depending on what
+ * kind of matching is desired.  However, to implement the same scheme as
+ * the one used in the other unixen, all compatible versions, from lowest
+ * to highest, should be part of the string.  Consecutive builds would
+ * give the following versions strings:
+ *
+ *      3.0
+ *      3.0:3.1
+ *      3.0:3.1:3.2
+ *      4.0
+ *      4.0:4.1
+ *
+ * Notice how version 4 is completely incompatible with version, and
+ * therefore give the breach you can see.
+ *
+ * There may be other schemes as well that I haven't yet discovered.
+ *
+ * So, here's the way it works here: first of all, the library version
+ * number doesn't need at all to match the overall OpenSSL version.
+ * However, it's nice and more understandable if it actually does.
+ * The current library version is stored in the macro SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER,
+ * which is just a piece of text in the format "M.m.e" (Major, minor, edit).
+ * For the sake of Tru64, IRIX, and any other OS that behaves in similar ways,
+ * we need to keep a history of version numbers, which is done in the
+ * macro SHLIB_VERSION_HISTORY.  The numbers are separated by colons and
+ * should only keep the versions that are binary compatible with the current.
