This sounds fine to me. There is a nice page in the libtool
manual that explains the process for "versioning" libraries.
The version info is "current:rev:age". The process is:

if (any_code_changed) { rev++; age++ }
if (added_new_apis or changed_apis or removed_apis) {
current++; rev = 0;
}
if (changed_apis or removed_apis) age = 0;
