The main visible change will be that a large number of ports have had their plists modified (we now install libtool .la archives) and, as such, PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on ~2000 ports (roughly 1/7th of the tree). Unfortunately, there is no simple upgrade path. Short of removing all packages and reinstalling from scratch, the only other viable alternative would be careful use of portupgrade. Given the large number of different ways in which libtool is used by other ports in the tree, this is a process that is likely to vary considerably from system to system, and as such, folks should be very mindful of running automatic updating software, such as portupgrade, making extensive use of the -n flag (and equivalents for other updaters) to see what will actually be rebuilt, before actually performing the upgrade. The good news is that the system now in place will make the handling of libtool-using ports considerably easier going forward.
