You would likely need at least `make clean`, probably `make cleanall` as well when switching between release-0.3 and the forthcoming release-0.4 branch. Many of the dependency versions have changed, though not all. It will likely be more reliable to at least rebuild the dependencies that have changed versions, which `make cleanall` should usually do for you - it deletes the installed copies from ./usr which forces the right version to be re-installed, though it won't completely delete the built copies of the dependencies from ./deps.
