Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Motif Transition Guide

Shared Library Policy

Sun will increment the major version number of each shared Motif library whenever there are binary-incompatible differences from the previous release. Sun will make available (either on the Motif distribution or through some other channel) all prior versions of each library. This will ensure that your applications linked with a particular release can continue to run, even after a new Motif release has been installed.
