LT_VERSION=0:11:0 -> liblog4cxx.so.0.0.11
LT_VERSION=0:11:1 -> libtool: link: AGE `1` is greater than the current interface number `0`
LT_VERSION=11:0:0 -> liblog4cxx.so.11.0.0

The result of autotools is correct, that of CMake wrong and should be "liblog4cxx.so.11.0.0" instead. The following condition from your linked docs is triggered:

{quote}
4. If any interfaces have been added, removed, or changed since the last update, increment current, and set revision to 0.

That is clearly the case with changed LevelPtr, new JSON-support etc. and keeps backwards compatibility. The docs additionally make the following clear:

{quote}
Never try to set the interface numbers so that they correspond to the release number of your package.[...]

> When building log4cxx, using cmake results in a library like the following:
> {code:java}
> liblog4cxx.so.0.11.0{code}
> However, when building with autotools, the binary is the following:
> {code:java}
> liblog4cxx.so.10.0.0
> {code}
> Things to do:
>  # Fix the cmake build to do the same as autotools for consistency.
>  # (optional) remove autotools so we don't have this problem in the future.
>  # (optional) If we're not removing autotools, fix the so versioning.
