Version number as a part of a file name

I see that some software have the version number included as a part of their file name, while others do not. I am more used to the latter type, and I think that is more popular, but I see the former type sometimes in javascript libraries. For example, jQuery’s file name is like jquery-2.1.0.js instead of jquery.js. Whenever I update these types of files, I have to look for the places in other programs that load these files, and change the file name they refer to, and manually delete the older version of these libraries. That is inconvenient to me, so I rather rename the file to exclude the version number, and keep the file name referred to to not include the version number.

Managing multiple versions of the same Android Library Project

I have an Android Library Project which I intensively used in a few projects. I started a new project in which I am also using this library. I want to improve some things in library (method signaturesnames, interfaces, etc.). But if I change method signaturesnames, interfaces, I should update old projects that use this library. That could be hard work.
