v4.1.7 included a mistake in setting the shared library version number which caused link incompatibility between previous v4.1.x releases and 4.1.7. There isn't a great way to fix that, so this release undoes the age increment, which will mean that a 4.1.8 release is link compatible with 4.1.0 - 4.1.16, but not link compatible with 4.1.7. This seems better than any other path forward, given the low number of complaints about this issue since 4.1.7 was released 3 months ago.
