Please note that the poppler frontends, that applications are supposed to be 
using does only very rarely change SONAME. the glib frontend haven't since 
it's introduction. Neither have the cpp frontend. The qt5 frontend has changed 
once. 

The Poppler Core library, which is meant to be a private shared thing between 
the frontends is changing SONAME monthly. But poppler core and the frontends 
are all in the same source, so it shouldn't affect anyone who behaves with 
poppler as documented. 

/Sune
 - who has been hacking on poppler over the last year and kept the api and abi 
of the frontends, but broken the internal api and abi multiple times.
