Heads-up: ABI incompatibility fix in releng/10.1

[Glen Barber]

It was brought to our attention a few days ago that there was an ABI
incompatibility introduced in the stable/10 branch about two months ago
(prior to the code freeze for the 10.1-RELEASE cycle).

This incompatibility was reverted in releng/10.1 as of r273169.  This
change was not reverted in the stable/10 branch, pending a more long
term solution for situations where we must bump a shared library version
in a stable/ branch.

After upgrading an existing 10.1 system after r273169, third-party
applications that link against libopie.so.8 will need to be reinstalled
to link against the corrected version, libopie.so.7.  If using binary
packages from the official FreeBSD pkg(8) repositories, no action should
be necessary.

This information will also be included in the 10.1-RC3 announcement
email when the builds are ready in a few days.

Thanks.

Glen
