Yes, there is, but of course I cannot guarantee that. But it shouldn't
be a problem too big as the beta3 is already in pretty good shape.

If you mean rebuilds of dependencies then definitely not. And even
rebuilds of openssl there should not be many as I suppose there will be
a final release soon.
