Does every beta update need approval through Apple TestFlight?

I just uploaded a minor update (0.1.0 to 0.2.0) of my iOS 8 beta app to Apple TestFlight. My app got approved by Apple TestFlight earlier and I read that minor updates don't need another review. Is this still the case? (I'm asking because I needed to submit it for another review even the changes are minimal)

To clarify.

If you want to skip the re-review process, don't update the VERSION ("Bundle versions string, short" in the Info.plist file), update the BUILD ("Bundle version" in the Info.plist file)

so instead of doing 0.1 (1) -> 0.2 (1) instead do 0.1 (1) -> 0.1 (2)

Submit your updated build and in iTunes Connect press "Submit for Beta App Review" and then check the box "Build Changes" as a NO.
