I am assuming this is the case. The C++ ABI is assumed set on the 3.0.x
branch. Furthermore, the library changes haven't broken the ABI.

Then I'll just use -release. There is no point in keeping major change
off the branch in order to preserve the ABI if every single minor release
is going to be a new interface.
