The bump was done for BETA2, see r225227, done on 2011-08-28. The bump has much less scope since we did the ABI analysis and only bumped the libraries which interfaces changed in incompatible way and which were not yet bumped. See the referenced commit for the libraries list. To be absolutely safe, you indeed need to rebuild all ports. Practically, the damage done by bump is very limited and most people can get away without rebuild if you already tracked HEAD. I would mostly worry about libpcap. --1TNIOiq80xg4uy19 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk5nP9EACgkQC3+MBN1Mb4hu9gCgywu91blF/UvKqPAzVI3RFpnL YSEAniO9yLaEuQ7iHcMVFTIunHH5iqju =moQB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --1TNIOiq80xg4uy19--
