version defined in 2024 branch

[fedelibre]

I'm trying to build synctex to use it in a flatpak package.
If I understand correctly, the stable branch is currently the 2024 branch, which has two problems:

1. The meson.build file states that it's version 1.3, but 1.3 seems too old. In fact it should be 1.22, shouldn't?
2. The meson syntax is probably outdated so the built library results undefined. I had to patch meson.build:

diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build
index a940709..e6b3c5a 100644
--- a/meson.build
+++ b/meson.build
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
-project('synctex', 'c')
+project('synctex', 'c', version: '1.22')
 
 version = '1.3'

Another possible problem is that the built .so file doesn't have a version in the file name. How can I be sure that I've installed the right version library?

Here's what I see in flatpak build directory:

$ ls build/files/lib/libsynctex.so*
build/files/lib/libsynctex.so
$ file build/files/lib/libsynctex.so*
build/files/lib/libsynctex.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=b05051e8aebfb0dc26f777994f04d692fd7e9859, stripped

libsyntex.so is a file, but normally it should be a symlink to the versioned file, e.g. libsyntex.so.1.22.

The application I'm building is this one.
