It would be really great if someone could write a bsd.port.mk target that handles this to avoid such mistakes. There were some attempts but they always stalled. Various people have various wrapper scripts or shell aliases. The external reference change tells you that liblowdown started using _toupper_tab_ (which means Kristaps added a call to toupper(3)). You can generally ignore those entries. You really only care about the dynamic export changes: additions => minor, removals => major and the data size changes (usually major). > Thank you.
