You can find out the major and minor ABI version numbers of the library you linked against by calling the functions ev_version_major and ev_version_minor. If you want, you can compare against the global symbols EV_VERSION_MAJOR and EV_VERSION_MINOR, which specify the version of the library your program was compiled against.

+

These version numbers refer to the ABI version of the library, not the +release version.

Usually, it's a good idea to terminate if the major versions mismatch, -as this indicates an incompatible change. Minor versions are usually +as this indicates an incompatible change. Minor versions are usually compatible to older versions, so a larger minor version alone is usually not a problem.
