Great news!

If you break pk-qt in an incompatible way (which is fine, I've done it
lots in the past with -glib, and it sounds like you had good reasons),
then we need to bump the libtool major version in LT_CURRENT (look in
configure.ac for a description). This ensures that we can't try
running an incompatible lib with incompatible client. Try to avoid
incrementing LT_CURRENT where-ever possible (and only do it once per
release cycle), as it makes the packagers job more tricky. It's also
important to update LT_REVISION when bugs are fixed in the library
(again, only once per cycle). As we have two libraries with one
versioning scheme, we just have to communicate a little more for the
next release, which for this release was probably my fault.

Happy birthday indeed. You do know that you can put the fact that you
have millions of users for your software on your CV, right?
