The quick summary is that the current package is from April, and
upstream had a new release in August. That new release switches from
qt4 to qt5. Updating GNU Radio in pkgsrc is complex, but tends to
happen fairly soon after the upstream release. As part of that
update, this package is expected to switch to qt5.

ChangeLog v3.7.10.1
This is the first bug-fix release for v3.7.10
This contains bug fixes primarily for GRC and DTV.
- GRC
* Catch more exceptions thrown by ConfigParser when reading corrupted
grc.conf files.
* Fix the docstring update error for empty categories.
* Fix grcc to call refactored GRC code.
* Convert initially opened files to absolute paths to prevent
attempting to read from tmp.
* Move startup checks back in to gnuradio-companion script from grc/checks.py.
- DTV
* Fix a segfault that occurs from out-of-bounds access in
dvbt_bit_inner_interleaver forecast by forecasting an enumerated list
of all input streams.
* Fix VL-SNR framing.
- Digital
* Enable update rate in block_recovery_mm blocks to keep tags close to
the the proper clock-recovered sample time. Tag offsets will still be
off between calls to work, but each work call updates the tag rate.
- Analog
* Fix the derivative calculation in fmdet block.
- Builds
* Fix linking GSL to gr-fec.
* Use gnu99 C standard rather than gnu11 standard to maintain
support for GCC 4.6.3.
- Other
Minor spelling and documentation fixes.
Fix uhd_siggen_gui when using lo_locked.
