<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I have realized one quite serious problem in plugin loading with recent SONAME bump.</div><div><br></div><div>The plugins are versioned, but the library ignores that and looks for .so files in the plugins directory.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This basically prevents the gradual transitioning from one SONAME to another, since at one point in time you have to replace the plugins with one version or another.</div><div><br></div><div>I would propose to change the mechanism to look for:</div>
<div><br></div><div>.so.<SONAME></div><div><br></div><div>(There might be some backward compatible mechanism to go through .so, but I don't think it would be necessary.)</div><div><br></div><div>Any other ideas how to solve it?</div>
