as others said, probably a rehetoric question, is this version jump justified with morphos mui compatibility? beacuse if its not, what i suspect, then its a deliberate and again very shortsighted, if not failed, try to confuse or even mislead the audience.
the correct way to get around this would be to rename the whole implementation, while keeping compatibility as its been done won aros or with warp/wazp3d. i recall similar debacle about the ixemul library, where morphos and os4 delivered an incompatible updates, while becoming shamlesly overridden by a os3 versin claiming a higher verion number. it was a very questionable case already, however, at that time none of the parties could claim clean track of record, i guess.
