Version 2.40.x is a major release, as can be seen in the ChangeLog: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/download/releases/stable /unison-manual.html#news (scroll down to "Changes since 2.32").
Notably, from my point of view as a regular Unison user: * Unicode support, necessary for proper interoperability between modern Linux distributions and Windows, has finally been released after a long time in development and testing. * User-friendliness has been improved with Unison trying to do as much work as (safely) possible when facing problems, rather than stopping at the first sign of trouble. Quite useful when Windows has path-length issues. * Performance has been seriously improved, see "Experimental streaming protocol", "Changes to the internal implementation of the rsync algorithm", and "speed-up update detection after a crash" for details. * The GTK user interface has seen some significant love too.
