+ A new SCons release, 2.0.1, is now available
+ on the SCons download page:
+
+ http://www.scons.org/download.php
+
+ The primary purpose of this release is to remove support for Python
+ versions prior to 2.4 and streamline the SCons code base using more
+ modern python idioms.
+
+ Here is a summary of the changes since 1.3:
+
+ NEW FUNCTIONALITY
+
+ - There should be no new functionality or bug fixes in this checkpoint.
+
+ DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
+
+ - All features or usages deprecated in 1.3 should have been removed.
+ Uses of formerly-deprecated features should get an error.
+
+ - The BuildDir() method and the build_dir option now get warnings.
+
+ - The SourceCode() function and its associated factory functions have
+ started their deprecation cycle and can have a warning enabled.
+
+ CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
+
+ - Any Command() or env.Command() calls that use the following Action
+ factory functions will have their targets rebuilt when upgrading
+ from any pre-2.0 release:
+
+ Chmod()
+ Copy()
+ Delete()
+ Mkdir()
+ Move()
+ Touch()
+
+ (The rebuild occurs because the underlying Python class that
+ implements these functions has been changed to a new-style Python
+ class, and that changes the Python byte code and therefore the
+ build signature of the functions.)
+
+ FIXES
+
+ - MSVC/MSVS/SDK support has been improved. A number of issues with
+ determining the correct version and architecture have been resolved.
+
+ - Fix propagation from environment of VS*COMNTOOLS to resolve issues
+ initializing MSVC/MSVS/SDK issues.
+
+ - Fixed a case-sensitivity problem with Fortran modules.
+
+ - Fix the ability to append to default $*FLAGS values (which are
+ implemented as CLVar instances) in a copied construction environment
+ without affecting the original construction environment's value.
+
+ - Updated the TeX command strings to include a /D on Windows in
+ case the new directory is on a different drive letter.
+
+ - Fixed the LaTeX scanner so dependencies are found in commands that
+ are broken across lines with a comment or have embedded spaces.
+
+ IMPROVEMENTS
+
+ - Support for Python versions prior to 2.4 has been removed. As of
+ this writing, we believe that SCons will still work with Python 2.3,
+ but this is not guaranteed.
+ - Code paths that included special cases for older Python versions have
+ been streamlined.
+ - The code base has been converted to use more modern idioms. Although
+ we don't have any direct measurements (yet), we believe that SCons
+ startup time should be decreased and the overall code should run faster.
+
+ PACKAGING
+
+ - No changes.
+
+ DOCUMENTATION
+
+ - The entries for SourceCode() and its associated factory functions now
+ state that the functions are deprecated.
+
+ - Document the AllowSubstExceptions() function in the User's Guide.
+
+
+ DEVELOPMENT
+
+ - Code no longer has to be compatible with Python versions back to 1.5.2.
+ Although code is tested with Python 2.3 and is still believed to work,
+ the official new floor is Python 2.4.
+
+ Thanks to Greg Noel, Steven Knight, Dirk Baechle, William Deegan,
+ W. Trevor King, Joe Zuntz, Bauke Conijn, Matt Hughes, Rob Managan,
+ and Jim Randall for their contributions to this release.
