Yes it is.  Here is the list of bug fixes and enhancements:

* Delete temporary files if the environment does not match the previous
environment (bug 95274)
* Imported revdep-rebuild release from bug 62644
* Major changes to the functionality when using --package-names/-X The
script should now update slotted packages correctly. (bug 22161)
* Customizable searching controlled through environment variables.  This
removes the need for end users to directly modify the script.  (bugs
32276, 38011, 59803)
* The directories to search are no longer hard coded into the script.
revdep-rebuild now determines the directories to search based
upon/etc/profile.env and /etc/ld.so.conf. (bugs 32276, 38011, 89781)
* --ignore option to ignore temporary files left from previous runs.
Automatically ignore temporary files older than 24 hours. (bug 34052)
* Always return an exit status based upon success or failure. (bug
38472)
* Fixed to only emerge packages with direct missing dependencies. (bug
38487)
* New man page. (bug 40042)
* emerge is no longer called with --nodeps. This allows for needed
dependencies to be pulled in. (bug 62893)
* Cleaned up grammatical errors (bug 85278)
* Added support for revdep-rebuild --soname /path/to/library.so (bug
91503)
* Removed symbolically linked directories from search (bug 93574)
* --nocolor option to turn off colored output, the script also obeys the
NOCOLOR setting from /etc/make.conf.
* Removed dependency on qpkg
* Script uses PORTAGE_NICENESS from /etc/make.conf
* Undocumented --keep-temp option.  This is primarily for
debugging/testing.  This option prevents temporary files from being
deleted.
* Changed --soname --soname-regexp options to --library and treat all
arguments as basic regular expressions. --soname and --soname-regexp can
still be used as options for backwards compatability.
* Removed requirement to keep revdep-rebuild and emerge options
distinct.  Options that are unrecognized by revdep-rebuild are passed
directly to emerge.

Paul
