Hello,
Point of information: Afaict from the changelog the only
reason for the soname bump in 0.9.4 is this one:

-----------------------------------------
i.e. it is specific to __sun. So afaict this transition should go
smoothly without breakage of programs linking against both version of
libunistring although libunistring does not use versioned symbols.
