MySQL C client library version for 9.x

[Sebastien FLAESCH]

Hello,

With MySQL 9.3 "Innovation Release", I see that the major version number of the C client library has not changed from MySQL 8.4 (it's still .24):

libmysqlclient.so -> libmysqlclient.so.24
libmysqlclient.so.24 -> libmysqlclient.so.24.1.0
libmysqlclient.so.24.1.0

This is all fine, as long as the .24 version stays the same (assuming that no incompatible API changes are introduced with version 9)

Can MySQL community please make sure this will be the case?

I mean, please do NOT change the API / lib version just before releasing the LTS!

Thanks!
Seb
