Also, I read somewhere in the documentation that major numbers
represent ABI breaking changes, and the two other minor numbers also
represent ABI changes and no ABI changes (respectively). Is this
actually enforced by anything in the OS or is it only a recommended
convention?
It's convention, nothing more. Open-source libraries tend to follow
it, while commercial libraries tend not to: it's easier to market an
upgrade from version 7 to version 8 than it is to market an upgrade
from version 1.4 to version 1.5.
