How to create spec for new major library version?

Question

I've recently released version 4 of SBJson. This is a new major version that is not backwards compatible. Since SBJson is widely bundled by other popular libraries I renamed all the classes & enums to make sure it can be used in conjunction with prior versions.

However, I'm not sure how to best handle this situation with CocoaPods. I contributed a 4.0.0 spec to the existing SBJson specs, but I suspect it will be impossible to install version 3.2 and 4.0.0 in the same project. Do I have to clone the 4.0.0 spec into a SBJson4 (notice extra major version number in name) spec as well?

Morning.

If you want users to have both versions installed simultaneously they will probably have to be separate pods.

AFAIK you can't have one pod installed twice in a project. I don't even know how you'd get round the linker errors etc. for that to be possible!
