It uses GNU libtool versioning, shared library versions:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Libtool-versioning.html

unbound version has libtool version current:revision:age
1.4.13 has 2:13:0
1.4.18 has 3:3:1

Because, at 1.4.14, the ub_version() call is added to the library,
making a new version (which is binary compatible with the previous
version).  So, there is a symlink for libunbound.so.2 binary API
(thus, existing programs continue to link and run).

The shared library numbers represent the library API.

Best regards,
   Wouter
