+ - Update man page and documentation. |
+ |
+ From William Deegan (plus minor patch from Gary Oberbrunner): |

+ file foo.tex. The builder now ignores a directory and continues |
+ searching to find the correct file. Thanks to Lennart Sauerbeck |
+ for the test case and initial patch |
+ |
+ Also allow the \include of files in subdirectories when variantDir |
+ is used with duplicate=0. Previously latex would crash since |

+ |
+ - Correct the documentation of text returned by sconf.Result(). |
+ |

+ ignored by Glob() by default (matching UNIX glob semantics). |
+ |
+ - Fix SWIG testing infrastructure to work on Mac OS X. |

+ tex tools. |
+ |
+ - Fix problem with filenames of sideeffects when the user changes |
+ the name of the output file from the latex default |
+ |
+ - Add scanning of files included in Latex by means of \lstinputlisting{} |
+ Patch from Stefan Hepp. |
+ |
+ - Change command line for epstopdf to use --outfile= instead of -o |
+ since this works on all platforms. |
+ Patch from Stefan Hepp. |
+ |
+ - Change scanner to properly search for included file from the |
+ directory of the main file instead of the file it is included from. |
+ Also update the emitter to add the .aux file associated with |

+ |
+ - Fix calling File() as a File object method in some circumstances. |

+ |
+ - Fix a syntax error in the Intel C compiler support on Windows. |
+ |

+ |
+ - Change how we represent Python Value Nodes when printing and when |
+ stored in .sconsign files (to avoid blowing out memory by storing |
+ huge strings in .sconsign files after multiple runs using Configure |

+ From Greg Noel: |
+ |
+ - Fix use of $CXXFLAGS when building C++ shared object files. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |

+ From Johan BoulÃ: |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability to use LoadableModule() under MinGW. |
+ |
+ From David Cournapeau: |
+ |
+ - Various missing Fortran-related construction variables have been added. |

+ variable to link Fortran object files. |
+ |
+ - Fortran compilers on Linux (Intel, g77 and gfortran) now add the -fPIC |
+ option by default when compilling shared objects. |
+ |
+ - New 'sunf77', 'sunf90' and 'sunf95' Tool modules have been added to |
+ support Sun Fortran compilers. On Solaris, the Sun Fortran compilers |
+ are used in preference to other compilers by default. |
+ |
+ - Fortran support now uses gfortran in preference to g77. |
+ |
+ - Fortran file suffixes are now configurable through the |
+ $F77FILESUFFIXES, $F90FILESUFFIXES, $F95FILESUFFIXES and |
+ $FORTRANFILESUFFIXES variables. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Make the -d, -e, -w and --no-print-directory options "Ignored for |
+ compatibility." (We're not going to implement them.) |
+ |
+ - Fix a serious inefficiency in how SCons checks for whether any source |
+ files are missing when a Builder call creates many targets from many |
+ input source files. |
+ |
+ - In Java projects, make the target .class files depend only on the |
+ specific source .java files where the individual classes are defined. |
+ |
+ - Don't store duplicate source file entries in the .sconsign file so |
+ we don't endlessly rebuild the target(s) for no reason. |
+ |
+ - Add a Variables object as the first step towards deprecating the |
+ Options object name. Similarly, add BoolVariable(), EnumVariable(), |
+ ListVariable(), PackageVariable() and PathVariable() functions |
+ as first steps towards replacing BoolOption(), EnumOption(), |
+ ListOption(), PackageOption() and PathOption(). |
+ |
+ - Change the options= keyword argument to the Environment() function |
+ to variables=, to avoid confusion with SCons command-line options. |
+ Continue supporting the options= keyword for backwards compatibility. |
+ |
+ - When $SWIGFLAGS contains the -python flag, expect the generated .py |
+ file to be in the same (sub)directory as the target. |
+ |
+ - When compiling C++ files, allow $CCFLAGS settings to show up on the |
+ command line even when $CXXFLAGS has been redefined. |
+ |
+ - Fix --interactive with -u/-U/-D when a VariantDir() is used. |
+ |
+ From Anatoly Techtonik: |
+ |
+ - Have the scons.bat file add the script execution directory to its |
+ local %PATH% on Windows, so the Python executable can be found. |

+ From Mike Wake: |
+ |
+ - Fix passing variable names as a list to the Return() function. |
+ |
+ From Matthew Wesley: |
+ |
+ - Add support for the GDC 'D' language compiler. |

+ |
+ From Benoit Belley: |
+ |
+ - Fix the --keep-going flag so it builds all possible targets even when |
+ a later top-level target depends on a child that failed its build. |
+ |
+ - Fix being able to use $PDB and $WINDWOWS_INSERT_MANIFEST together. |
+ |
+ - Don't crash if un-installing the Intel C compiler leaves left-over, |
+ dangling entries in the Windows registry. |
+ |
+ - Improve support for non-standard library prefixes and suffixes by |
+ stripping all prefixes/suffixes from file name string as appropriate. |
+ |
+ - Reduce the default stack size for -j worker threads to 256 Kbytes. |
+ Provide user control over this value by adding --stack-size and |
+ --warn=stack-size options, and a SetOption('stack_size') function. |
+ |
+ - Fix a crash on Linux systems when trying to use the Intel C compiler |
+ and no /opt/intel_cc_* directories are found. |
+ |
+ - Improve using Python functions as actions by incorporating into |
+ a FunctionAction's signature: |
+ - literal values referenced by the byte code. |
+ - values of default arguments |
+ - code of nested functions |
+ - values of variables captured by closures |
+ - names of referenced global variables and functions |
+ |
+ - Fix the closing message when --clean and --keep-going are both |
+ used and no errors occur. |
+ |
+ - Add support for the Intel C compiler on Mac OS X. |
+ |
+ - Speed up reading SConscript files by about 20% (for some |
+ configurations) by: 1) optimizing the SCons.Util.is_*() and |
+ SCons.Util.flatten() functions; 2) avoiding unnecessary os.stat() |
+ calls by using a File's .suffix attribute directly instead of |
+ stringifying it. |
+ |
+ From Jérôme Berger: |
+ |
+ - Have the D language scanner search for .di files as well as .d files. |
+ |
+ - Add a find_include_names() method to the Scanner.Classic class to |
+ abstract out how included names can be generated by subclasses. |
+ |
+ - Allow the D language scanner to detect multiple modules imported by |
+ a single statement. |
+ |
+ From Konstantin Bozhikov: |
+ |
+ - Support expansion of construction variables that contain or refer |
+ to lists of other variables or Nodes within expansions like $CPPPATH. |
+ |
+ - Change variable substitution (the env.subst() method) so that an |
+ input sequence (list or tuple) is preserved as a list in the output. |
+ |
+ From David Cournapeau: |
+ |
+ - Add a CheckDeclaration() call to configure contexts. |
+ |
+ - Improve the CheckTypeSize() code. |
+ |
+ - Add a Define() call to configure contexts, to add arbitrary #define |
+ lines to a generated configure header file. |
+ |
+ - Add a "gfortran" Tool module for the GNU F95/F2003 compiler. |
+ |
+ - Avoid use of -rpath with the Mac OS X linker. |
+ |
+ - Add comment lines to the generated config.h file to describe what |
+ the various #define/#undef lines are doing. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Support the ability to subclass the new-style "str" class as input |
+ to Builders. |
+ |
+ - Improve the performance of our type-checking by using isinstance() |
+ with new-style classes. |
+ |
+ - Fix #include (and other $*PATH variables searches) of files with |
+ absolute path names. Don't die if they don't exist (due to being |
+ #ifdef'ed out or the like). |
+ |
+ - Fix --interactive mode when Default(None) is used. |
+ |
+ - Fix --debug=memoizer to work around a bug in base Python 2.2 metaclass |
+ initialization (by just not allowing Memoization in Python versions |
+ that have the bug). |
+ |
+ - Have the "scons-time time" subcommand handle empty log files, and |
+ log files that contain no results specified by the --which option. |
+ |
+ - Fix the max Y of vertical bars drawn by "scons-time --fmt=gnuplot". |
+ |
+ - On Mac OS X, account for the fact that the header file generated |
+ from a C++ file will be named (e.g.) file.cpp.h, not file.hpp. |
+ |
+ - Fix floating-point numbers confusing the Java parser about |
+ generated .class file names in some configurations. |
+ |
+ - Document (nearly) all the values you can now fetch with GetOption(). |
+ |
+ - Fix use of file names containing strings of multiple spaces when |
+ using ActionFactory instances like the Copy() or Move() function. |
+ |
+ - Fix a 0.97 regression when using a variable expansion (like |
+ $OBJSUFFIX) in a source file name to a builder with attached source |
+ builders that match suffix (like Program()+Object()). |
+ |
+ - Have the Java parser recognize generics (surrounded by angle brackets) |
+ so they don't interfere with identifying anonymous inner classes. |
+ |
+ - Avoid an infinite loop when trying to use saved copies of the |
+ env.Install() or env.InstallAs() after replacing the method |
+ attributes. |
+ |
+ - Improve the performance of setting construction variables. |
+ |
+ - When cloning a construction environment, avoid over-writing an |
+ attribute for an added method if the user explicitly replaced it. |
+ |
+ - Add a warning about deprecated support for Python 1.5, 2.0 and 2.1. |
+ |
+ - Fix being able to SetOption('warn', ...) in SConscript files. |
+ |
+ - Add a warning about env.Copy() being deprecated. |
+ |
+ - Add warnings about the --debug={dtree,stree,tree} options |
+ being deprecated. |
+ |
+ - Add VariantDir() as the first step towards deprecating BuildDir(). |
+ Add the keyword argument "variant_dir" as the replacement for |
+ "build_dir". |
+ |
+ - Add warnings about the {Target,Source}Signatures() methods and |
+ functions being deprecated. |
+ |
+ From Rob Managan: |

+ - Re-run LaTeX when it issues a package warning that it must be re-run. |
+ |
+ From Leanid Nazdrynau: |
+ |
+ - Have the Copy() action factory preserve file modes and times |
+ when copying individual files. |
+ |
+ From Jan Nijtmans: |
+ |
+ - If $JARCHDIR isn't set explicitly, use the .java_classdir attribute |
+ that was set when the Java() Builder built the .class files. |
+ |
+ From Greg Noel: |
+ |
+ - Document the Dir(), File() and Entry() methods of Dir and File Nodes. |
+ |
+ - Add the parse_flags option when creating Environments |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Make File(), Dir() and Entry() return a list of Nodes when passed |
+ a list of names, instead of trying to make a string from the name |
+ list and making a Node from that string. |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability to build an Alias in --interactive mode. |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability to hash the contents of actions for nested Python |
+ functions on Python versions where the inability to pickle them |
+ returns a TypeError (instead of the documented PicklingError). |
+ |
+ From Jonas Olsson: |
+ |
+ - Fix use of the Intel C compiler when the top compiler directory, |
+ but not the compiler version, is specified. |
+ |
+ - Handle Intel C compiler network license files (port@system). |

+ From Jim Randall: |
+ |
+ - Fix how Python Value Nodes are printed in --debug=explain output. |

+ cleaning) targets without re-reading the SConscript files every time. |
+ |
+ - Fix use of readline command-line editing in --interactive mode. |
+ |
+ - Have the --interactive mode "build" command with no arguments |
+ build the specified Default() targets. |

+ - Fix the Chmod(), Delete(), Mkdir() and Touch() Action factories to |
+ take a list (of Nodes or strings) as arguments. |

+ |
+RELEASE 0.97.0d20071212 - Wed, 12 Dec 2007 09:29:32 -0600 |
+ |
+ From Benoit Belley: |
+ |
+ - Fix occasional spurious rebuilds and inefficiency when using |
+ --implicit-cache and Builders that produce multiple targets. |
+ |
+ - Allow SCons to not have to know about the builders of generated |
+ files when BuildDir(duplicate=0) is used, potentially allowing some |
+ SConscript files to be ignored for smaller builds. |
+ |
+ From David Cournapeau: |
+ |
+ - Add a CheckTypeSize() call to configure contexts. |
+ |
+ From Ken Deeter: |
+ |
+ - Make the "contents" of Alias Nodes a concatenation of the children's |
+ content signatures (MD5 checksums), not a concatenation of the |
+ children's contents, to avoid using large amounts of memory during |

+ |
+ From Malte Helmert: |

+ that aren't known to the Options object. |
+ |
+ - Add a Glob() function. |
+ |
+ - When removing targets with the -c option, use the absolute path (to |
+ avoid problems interpreting BuildDir() when the top-level directory |
+ is the source directory). |
+ |
+ - Fix problems with Install() and InstallAs() when called through a |
+ clone (of a clone, ...) of a cloned construction environment. |
+ |
+ - When executing a file containing Options() settings, add the file's |
+ directory to sys.path (so modules can be imported from there) and |
+ explicity set __name__ to the name of the file so the statement's |
+ in the file can deduce the location if they need to. |
+ |
+ - Fix an O(n^2) performance problem when adding sources to a target |
+ through calls to a multi Builder (including Aliases). |
+ |
+ - Redefine the $WINDOWSPROGMANIFESTSUFFIX and |
+ $WINDOWSSHLIBMANIFESTSUFFIX variables so they pick up changes to |
+ the underlying $SHLIBSUFFIX and $PROGSUFFIX variables. |
+ |
+ - Add a GetBuildFailures() function that can be called from functions |
+ registered with the Python atexit module to print summary information |
+ about any failures encountered while building. |
+ |
+ - Return a NodeList object, not a Python list, when a single_source |
+ Builder like Object() is called with more than one file. |
+ |
+ - When searching for implicit dependency files in the directories |
+ in a $*PATH list, don't create Dir Nodes for directories that |
+ don't actually exist on-disk. |
+ |
+ - Add a Requires() function to allow the specification of order-only |
+ prerequisites, which will be updated before specified "downstream" |
+ targets but which don't actually cause the target to be rebuilt. |
+ |
+ - Restore the FS.{Dir,File,Entry}.rel_path() method. |
+ |
+ - Make the default behavior of {Source,Target}Signatures('timestamp') |
+ be equivalent to 'timestamp-match', not 'timestamp-newer'. |
+ |
+ - Fix use of CacheDir with Decider('timestamp-newer') by updating |
+ the modification time when copying files from the cache. |
+ |
+ - Fix random issues with parallel (-j) builds on Windows when Python |
+ holds open file handles (especially for SCons temporary files, |
+ or targets built by Python function actions) across process creation. |
+ |
+ From Maxim Kartashev: |
+ |
+ - Fix test scripts when run on Solaris. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |

+ |
+RELEASE 0.97.0d20070918 - Tue, 18 Sep 2007 10:51:27 -0500 |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Fix the wix Tool module to handle null entries in $PATH variables. |
+ |
+ - Move the documentation of Install() and InstallAs() from the list |
+ of functions to the list of Builders (now that they're implemented |
+ as such). |
+ |
+ - Allow env.CacheDir() to be set per construction environment. The |
+ global CacheDir() function now sets an overridable global default. |
+ |
+ - Add an env.Decider() method and a Node.Decider() method that allow |
+ flexible specification of an arbitrary function to decide if a given |
+ dependency has changed since the last time a target was built. |
+ |
+ - Don't execute Configure actions (while reading SConscript files) |
+ when cleaning (-c) or getting help (-h or -H). |
+ |
+ - Add to each target an implicit dependency on the external command(s) |
+ used to build the target, as found by searching env['ENV']['PATH'] |
+ for the first argument on each executed command line. |
+ |
+ - Add support for a $IMPLICIT_COMMAND_DEPENDENCIES construction |
+ variabe that can be used to disable the automatic implicit |
+ dependency on executed commands. |
+ |
+ - Add an "ensure_suffix" keyword to Builder() definitions that, when |
+ true, will add the configured suffix to the targets even if it looks |
+ like they already have a different suffix. |
+ |
+ - Add a Progress() function that allows for calling a function or string |
+ (or list of strings) to display progress while walking the DAG. |
+ |
+ - Allow ParseConfig(), MergeFlags() and ParseFlags() to handle output |
+ from a *config command with quoted path names that contain spaces. |
+ |
+ - Make the Return() function stop processing the SConscript file and |
+ return immediately. Add a "stop=" keyword argument that can be set |
+ to False to preserve the old behavior. |
+ |
+ - Fix use of exitstatfunc on an Action. |
+ |
+ - Introduce all man page function examples with "Example:" or "Examples:". |
+ |
+ - When a file gets added to a directory, make sure the directory gets |
+ re-scanned for the new implicit dependency. |
+ |
+ - Fix handling a file that's specified multiple times in a target |
+ list so that it doesn't cause dependent Nodes to "disappear" from |
+ the dependency graph walk. |
+ |
+ From Carsten Koch: |
+ |
+ - Avoid race conditions with same-named files and directory creation |
+ when pushing copies of files to CacheDir(). |
+ |
+ From Tzvetan Mikov: |
+ |
+ - Handle $ in Java class names. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Add support for the Intel C compiler on Windows64. |
+ |
+ - On SGI IRIX, have $SHCXX use $CXX by default (like other platforms). |
+ |
+ From Sohail Somani: |
+ |
+ - When Cloning a construction environment, set any variables before |
+ applying tools (so the tool module can access the configured settings) |
+ and re-set them after (so they end up matching what the user set). |
+ |
+ From Matthias Troffaes: |
+ |
+ - Make sure extra auxiliary files generated by some LaTeX packages |
+ and not ending in .aux also get deleted by scons -c. |
+ |
+ From Greg Ward: |
+ |
+ - Add a $JAVABOOTCLASSPATH variable for directories to be passed to the |
+ javac -bootclasspath option. |
+ |
+ From Christoph Wiedemann: |
+ |
+ - Add implicit dependencies on the commands used to build a target. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.97.0d20070809 - Fri, 10 Aug 2007 10:51:27 -0500 |
+ |
+ From Lars Albertsson: |
+ |
+ - Don't error if a #include line happens to match a directory |
+ somewhere on a path (like $CPPPATH, $FORTRANPATH, etc.). |
+ |
+ From Mark Bertoglio: |
+ |
+ - Fix listing multiple projects in Visual Studio 7.[01] solution files, |
+ including generating individual project GUIDs instead of re-using |
+ the solution GUID. |
+ |
+ From Jean Brouwers: |
+ |
+ - Add /opt/SUNWspro/bin to the default execution PATH on Solaris. |
+ |
+ From Allan Erskine: |
+ |
+ - Only expect the Microsoft IDL compiler to emit *_p.c and *_data.c |
+ files if the /proxy and /dlldata switches are used (respectively). |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Have --debug=explain report if a target is being rebuilt because |
+ AlwaysBuild() is specified (instead of "unknown reasons"). |
+ |
+ - Support {Get,Set}Option('help') to make it easier for SConscript |
+ files to tell if a help option (-h, --help, etc.) has been specified. |
+ |
+ - Support {Get,Set}Option('random') so random-dependency interaction |
+ with CacheDir() is controllable from SConscript files. |
+ |
+ - Add a new AddOption() function to support user-defined command- |
+ line flags (like --prefix=, --force, etc.). |
+ |
+ - Push and retrieve built symlinks to/from a CacheDir() as actual |
+ symlinks, not by copying the file contents. |
+ |
+ - Fix how the Action module handles stringifying the shared library |
+ generator in the Tool/mingw.py module. |
+ |
+ - When generating a config.h file, print "#define HAVE_{FEATURE} 1" |
+ instad of just "#define HAVE_{FEATURE}", for more compatibility |
+ with Autoconf-style projects. |
+ |
+ - Fix expansion of $TARGET, $TARGETS, $SOURCE and $SOURCES keywords in |
+ Visual C/C++ PDB file names. |
+ |
+ - Fix locating Visual C/C++ PDB files in build directories. |
+ |
+ - Support an env.AddMethod() method and an AddMethod() global function |
+ for adding a new method, respectively, to a construction environment |
+ or an arbitrary object (such as a class). |
+ |
+ - Fix the --debug=time option when the -j option is specified and all |
+ files are up to date. |
+ |
+ - Add a $SWIGOUTDIR variable to allow setting the swig -outdir option, |
+ and use it to identify files created by the swig -java option. |
+ |
+ - Add a $SWIGPATH variable that specifies the path to be searched |
+ for included SWIG files, Also add related $SWIGINCPREFIX and |
+ $SWIGINCSUFFIX variables that specify the prefix and suffix to |
+ be be added to each $SWIGPATH directory when expanded on the SWIG |
+ command line. |
+ |
+ - More efficient copying of construction environments (mostly borrowed |
+ from copy.deepcopy() in the standard Python library). |
+ |
+ - When printing --tree=prune output, don't print [brackets] around |
+ source files, only do so for built targets with children. |
+ |
+ - Fix interpretation of Builder source arguments when the Builder has |
+ a src_suffix *and* a source_builder and the argument has no suffix. |
+ |
+ - Fix use of expansions like ${TARGET.dir} or ${SOURCE.dir} in the |
+ following construction variables: $FORTRANMODDIR, $JARCHDIR, |
+ $JARFLAGS, $LEXFLAGS, $SWIGFLAGS, $SWIGOUTDIR and $YACCFLAGS. |
+ |
+ - Fix dependencies on Java files generated by SWIG so they can be |
+ detected and built in one pass. |
+ |
+ - Fix SWIG when used with a BuildDir(). |
+ |
+ From Leanid Nazdrynau: |
+ |
+ - When applying Tool modules after a construction environment has |
+ already been created, don't overwrite existing $CFILESUFFIX and |
+ $CXXFILESUFFIX value. |
+ |
+ - Support passing the Java() builder a list of explicit .java files |
+ (not only a list of directories to be scanned for .java files). |
+ |
+ - Support passing .java files to the Jar() and JavaH() builders, which |
+ then use the builder underlying the Java() builder to turn them into |
+ .class files. (That is, the Jar()-Java() chain of builders become |
+ multi-step, like the Program()-Object()-CFile() builders.) |
+ |
+ - Support passing SWIG .i files to the Java builders (Java(), |
+ Jar(), JavaH()), to cause intermediate .java files to be created |
+ automatically. |
+ |
+ - Add $JAVACLASSPATH and $JAVASOURCEPATH variables, that get added to |
+ the javac "-classpath" and "-sourcepath" options. (Note that SCons |
+ does *not* currently search these paths for implicit dependencies.) |
+ |
+ - Commonize initialization of Java-related builders. |
+ |
+ From Jan Nijtmans: |
+ |
+ - Find Java anonymous classes when the next token after the name is |
+ an open parenthesis. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Fix a code example in the man page. |
+ |
+ From Tilo Prutz: |
+ |
+ - Add support for the file names that Java 1.5 (and 1.6) generates for |
+ nested anonymous inner classes, which are different from Java 1.4. |
+ |
+ From Adam Simpkins: |
+ |
+ - Allow worker threads to terminate gracefully when all jobs are |
+ finished. |
+ |
+ From Sohail Somani: |
+ |
+ - Add LaTeX scanner support for finding dependencies specified with |
+ the \usepackage{} directive. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.97 - Thu, 17 May 2007 08:59:41 -0500 |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Fix a bug that would make parallel builds stop in their tracks if |
+ Nodes that depended on lists that contained some Nodes built together |
+ caused the reference count to drop below 0 if the Nodes were visited |
+ and commands finished in the wrong order. |
+ |
+ - Make sure the DirEntryScanner doesn't choke if it's handed something |
+ that's not a directory (Node.FS.Dir) Node. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.96.96 - Thu, 12 Apr 2007 12:36:25 -0500 |

+ - Don't treat Java ".class" attributes as defining an inner class. |
+ |
+ - Fix detecting an erroneous Java anonymous class when the first |
+ non-skipped token after a "new" keyword is a closing brace. |
+ |
+ - Fix a regression when a CPPDEFINES list contains a tuple, the second |
+ item of which (the option value) is a construction variable expansion |
+ (e.g. $VALUE) and the value of the variable isn't a string. |
+ |
+ - Improve the error message if an IOError (like trying to read a |
+ directory as a file) occurs while deciding if a node is up-to-date. |
+ |
+ - Fix "maximum recursion" / "unhashable type" errors in $CPPPATH |
+ PathList expansion if a subsidiary expansion yields a stringable, |
+ non-Node object. |
+ |
+ - Generate API documentation from the docstrings (using epydoc). |
+ |
+ - Fix use of --debug=presub with Actions for out-of-the-box Builders. |
+ |
+ - Fix handling nested lists within $CPPPATH, $LIBPATH, etc. |
+ |
+ - Fix a "builders_used" AttributeError that real-world Qt initialization |

+ |
+ - Make the reported --debug=time timings meaningful when used with -j. |
+ Better documentation of what the times mean. |
+ |
+ - User Guide updates: --random, AlwaysBuild(), --tree=, |
+ --debug=findlibs, --debug=presub, --debug=stacktrace, |
+ --taskmastertrace. |
+ |
+ - Document (in both man page and User's Guide) that --implicit-cache |
+ ignores changes in $CPPPATH, $LIBPATH, etc. |
+ |
+ From Jean-Baptiste Lab: |
+ |
+ - Remove hard-coded dependency on Python 2.2 from Debian packaging files. |
+ |
+ From Jeff Mahovsky: |
+ |
+ - Handle spaces in the build target name in Visual Studio project files. |
+ |
+ From Rob Managan: |
+ |
+ - Re-run LaTeX after BibTeX has been re-run in response to a changed |
+ .bib file. |
+ |
+ From Joel B. Mohler: |
+ |
+ - Make additional TeX auxiliary files (.toc, .idx and .bbl files) |
+ Precious so their removal doesn't affect whether the necessary |
+ sections are included in output PDF or PostScript files. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability to import modules in the site_scons directory from |
+ a subdirectory. |
+ |
+ From Adam Simpkins: |
+ |

+RELEASE 0.96.95 - Mon, 12 Feb 2007 20:25:16 -0600 |
+ |
+ From Anatoly: |
+ |
+ - Add the scons.org URL and a package description to the setup.py |
+ arguments. |
+ |
+ - Have the Windows installer add a registry entry for scons.bat in the |
+ "App Paths" key, so scons.bat can be executed without adding the |
+ directory to the %PATH%. (Python itself works this way.) |
+ |
+ From Anonymous: |
+ |
+ - Fix looking for default paths in Visual Studio 8.0 (and later). |
+ |
+ - Add -lm to the list of default D libraries for linking. |
+ |
+ From Matt Doar: |
+ |
+ - Provide a more complete write-your-own-Scanner example in the man page. |
+ |
+ From Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve: |
+ |
+ - Contributed upstream Python change to our copied subprocess.py module |
+ for more efficient standard input processing. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Fix the Node.FS.Base.rel_path() method when the two nodes are on |
+ different drive letters. (This caused an infinite loop when |
+ trying to write .sconsign files.) |
+ |
+ - Fully support Scanners that use a dictionary to map file suffixes |
+ to other scanners. |
+ |
+ - Support delayed evaluation of the $SPAWN variable to allow selection |
+ of a function via ${} string expansions. |
+ |
+ - Add --srcdir as a synonym for -Y/--repository. |
+ |
+ - Document limitations of #include "file.h" with Repository(). |
+ |
+ - Fix use of a toolpath under the source directory of a BuildDir(). |
+ |
+ - Fix env.Install() with a file name portion that begins with '#'. |
+ |
+ - Fix ParseConfig()'s handling of multiple options in a string that's |
+ replaced a *FLAGS construction variable. |
+ |
+ - Have the C++ tools initialize common C compilation variables ($CCFLAGS, |
+ $SHCCFLAGS and $_CCCOMCOM) even if the 'cc' Tool isn't loaded. |
+ |
+ From Leanid Nazdrynau: |
+ |
+ - Fix detection of Java anonymous classes if a newline precedes the |
+ opening brace. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Document use of ${} to execute arbitrary Python code. |
+ |
+ - Add support for: |
+ 1) automatically adding a site_scons subdirectory (in the top-level |
+ SConstruct directory) to sys.path (PYTHONPATH); |
+ 2) automatically importing site_scons/site_init.py; |
+ 3) automatically adding site_scons/site_tools to the toolpath. |
+ |
+ From John Pye: |
+ |
+ - Change ParseConfig() to preserve white space in arguments passed in |
+ as a list. |
+ |
+ From a smith: |
+ |
+ - Fix adding explicitly-named Java inner class files (and any |
+ other file names that may contain a '$') to Jar files. |
+ |
+ From David Vitek: |
+ |
+ - Add a NoCache() function to mark targets as unsuitable for propagating |
+ to (or retrieving from) a CacheDir(). |
+ |
+ From Ben Webb: |
+ |
+ - If the swig -noproxy option is used, it won't generate a .py file, |
+ so don't emit it as a target that we expect to be built. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.96.94 - Sun, 07 Jan 2007 18:36:20 -0600 |
+ |
+ NOTE: This is a pre-release of 0.97 for testing purposes. |
+ |
+ From Anonymous: |
+ |
+ - Allow arbitrary white space after a SWIG %module declaration. |
+ |
+ From Paul: |
+ |
+ - When compiling resources under MinGW, make sure there's a space |
+ between the --include-dir option and its argument. |
+ |
+ From Jay Kint: |
+ |
+ - Alleviate long command line issues on Windows by executing command |
+ lines directly via os.spawnv() if the command line doesn't need |
+ shell interpretation (has no pipes, redirection, etc.). |
+ |
+ From Walter Franzini: |
+ |
+ - Exclude additional Debian packaging files from the copyright check. |
+ |
+ From Fawad Halim: |
+ |
+ - Handle the conflict between the impending Python 2.6 'as' keyword |
+ and our Tool/as.py module name. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Speed up the Node.FS.Dir.rel_path() method used to generate path names |
+ that get put into the .sconsign* file(s). |
+ |
+ - Optimize Node.FS.Base.get_suffix() by computing the suffix once, up |
+ front, when we set the Node's name. (Duh...) |
+ |
+ - Reduce the Memoizer's responsibilities to simply counting hits and |
+ misses when the --debug=memoizer option is used, not to actually |
+ handling the key calculation and memoization itself. This speeds |
+ up some configurations significantly, and should cause no functional |
+ differences. |
+ |
+ - Add a new scons-time script with subcommands for generating |
+ consistent timing output from SCons configurations, extracting |
+ various information from those timings, and displaying them in |
+ different formats. |
+ |
+ - Reduce some unnecessary stat() calls from on-disk entry type checks. |
+ |
+ - Fix SideEffect() when used with -j, which was badly broken in 0.96.93. |
+ |
+ - Propagate TypeError exceptions when evaluating construction variable |
+ expansions up the stack, so users can see what's going on. |
+ |
+ - When disambiguating a Node.FS.Entry into a Dir or File, don't look |
+ in the on-disk source directory until we've confirmed there's no |
+ on-disk entry locally and there *is* one in the srcdir. This avoids |
+ creating a phantom Node that can interfere with dependencies on |
+ directory contents. |
+ |
+ - Add an AllowSubstExceptions() function that gives the SConscript |
+ files control over what exceptions cause a string to expand to '' |
+ vs. terminating processing with an error. |
+ |
+ - Allow the f90.py and f95.py Tool modules to compile earlier source |
+ source files of earlier Fortran version. |
+ |
+ - Fix storing signatures of files retrieved from CacheDir() so they're |
+ correctly identified as up-to-date next invocation. |
+ |
+ - Make sure lists of computed source suffixes cached by Builder objects |
+ don't persist across changes to the list of source Builders (so the |
+ addition of suffixes like .ui by the qt.py Tool module take effect). |
+ |
+ - Enhance the bootstrap.py script to allow it to be used to execute |
+ SCons more easily from a checked-out source tree. |
+ |
+ From Ben Leslie: |
+ |
+ - Fix post-Memoizer value caching misspellings in Node.FS._doLookup(). |
+ |
+ From Rob Managan, Dmitry Mikhin and Joel B. Mohler: |
+ |
+ - Handle TeX/LaTeX files in subdirectories by changing directory |
+ before invoking TeX/LaTeX. |
+ |
+ - Scan LaTeX files for \bibliography lines. |
+ |
+ - Support multiple file names in a "\bibliography{file1,file2}" string. |
+ |
+ - Handle TeX warnings about undefined citations. |
+ |
+ - Support re-running LaTeX if necessary due to a Table of Contents. |
+ |
+ From Dmitry Mikhin: |
+ |
+ - Return LaTeX if "Rerun to get citations correct" shows up on the next |
+ line after the "Warning:" string. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Add #include lines to fix portability issues in two tests. |
+ |
+ - Eliminate some unnecessary os.path.normpath() calls. |
+ |
+ - Add a $CFLAGS variable for C-specific options, leaving $CCFLAGS |
+ for options common to C and C++. |
+ |
+ From Tom Parker: |
+ |
+ - Have the error message print the missing file that Qt can't find. |
+ |
+ From John Pye: |
+ |
+ - Fix env.MergeFlags() appending to construction variable value of None. |
+ |
+ From Steve Robbins: |
+ |
+ - Fix the "sconsign" script when the .sconsign.dblite file is explicitly |
+ specified on the command line (and not intuited from the old way of |
+ calling it with just ".sconsign"). |
+ |
+ From Jose Pablo Ezequiel "Pupeno" Fernandez Silva: |
+ |
+ - Give the 'lex' tool knowledge of the additional target files produced |
+ by the flex "--header-file=" and "--tables-file=" options. |
+ |
+ - Give the 'yacc' tool knowledge of the additional target files produced |
+ by the bison "-g", "--defines=" and "--graph=" options. |
+ |
+ - Generate intermediate files with Objective C file suffixes (.m) when |
+ the lex and yacc source files have appropriate suffixes (.lm and .ym). |
+ |
+ From Sohail Somain: |
+ |
+ - Have the mslink.py Tool only look for a 'link' executable on Windows |
+ systems. |
+ |
+ From Vaclav Smilauer: |
+ |
+ - Add support for a "srcdir" keyword argument when calling a Builder, |
+ which will add a srcdir prefix to all non-relative string sources. |
+ |
+ From Jonathan Ultis: |
+ |
+ - Allow Options converters to take the construction environment as |
+ an optional argument. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.96.93 - Mon, 06 Nov 2006 00:44:11 -0600 |
+ |
+ NOTE: This is a pre-release of 0.97 for testing purposes. |
+ |
+ From Anonymous: |
+ |
+ - Allow Python Value Nodes to be Builder targets. |
+ |
+ From Matthias: |
+ |
+ - Only filter Visual Studio common filename prefixes on complete |
+ directory names. |
+ |
+ From Chad Austin: |
+ |
+ - Fix the build of the SCons documentation on systems that don't |
+ have "python" in the $PATH. |
+ |
+ From Ken Boortz: |
+ |
+ - Enhance ParseConfig() to recognize options that begin with '+'. |
+ |
+ From John Calcote, Elliot Murphy: |
+ |
+ - Document ways to override the CCPDBFLAGS variable to use the |
+ Microsoft linker's /Zi option instead of the default /Z7. |
+ |
+ From Christopher Drexler: |
+ |
+ - Make SCons aware bibtex must be called if any \include files |
+ cause creation of a bibliography. |
+ |
+ - Make SCons aware that "\bilbiography" in TeX source files means |
+ that related .bbl and .blg bibliography files will be created. |
+ (NOTE: This still needs to search for the string in \include files.) |
+ |
+ From David Gruener: |
+ |
+ - Fix inconsistent handling of Action strfunction arguments. |
+ |
+ - Preserve white space in display Action strfunction strings. |
+ |
+ From James Y. Knight and Gerard Patel: |
+ |
+ - Support creation of shared object files from assembly language. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Speed up the Taskmaster significantly by avoiding unnecessary |
+ re-scans of Nodes to find out if there's work to be done, having it |
+ track the currently-executed top-level target directly and not |
+ through its presence on the target list, and eliminating some other |
+ minor list(s), method(s) and manipulation. |
+ |
+ - Fix the expansion of $TARGET and $SOURCE in the expansion of |
+ $INSTALLSTR displayed for non-environment calls to InstallAs(). |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability to have an Alias() call refer to a directory |
+ name that's not identified as a directory until later. |
+ |
+ - Enhance runtest.py with an option to use QMTest as the harness. |
+ This will become the default behavior as we add more functionality |
+ to the QMTest side. |
+ |
+ - Let linking on mingw use the default function that chooses $CC (gcc) |
+ or $CXX (g++) depending on whether there are any C++ source files. |
+ |
+ - Work around a bug in early versions of the Python 2.4 profile module |
+ that caused the --profile= option to fail. |
+ |
+ - Only call Options validators and converters once when initializing a |
+ construction environment. |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability of env.Append() and env.Prepend(), in all known Python |
+ versions, to handle different input value types when the construction |
+ variable being updated is a dictionary. |
+ |
+ - Add a --cache-debug option for information about what files it's |
+ looking for in a CacheDir(). |
+ |
+ - Document the difference in construction variable expansion between |
+ {Action,Builder}() and env.{Action,Builder}(). |
+ |
+ - Change the name of env.Copy() to env.Clone(), keeping the old name |
+ around for backwards compatibility (with the intention of eventually |
+ phasing it out to avoid confusion with the Copy() Action factory). |
+ |
+ From Arve Knudsen: |
+ |
+ - Support cleaning and scanning SWIG-generated files. |
+ |
+ From Carsten Koch: |
+ |
+ - Allow selection of Visual Studio version by setting $MSVS_VERSION |
+ after construction environment initialization. |
+ |
+ From Jean-Baptiste Lab: |
+ |
+ - Try using zipimport if we can't import Tool or Platform modules |
+ using the normal "imp" module. This allows SCons to be packaged |
+ using py2exe's all-in-one-zip-file approach. |
+ |
+ From Ben Liblit: |
+ |
+ - Do not re-scan files if the scanner returns no implicit dependencies. |
+ |
+ From Sanjoy Mahajan: |
+ |
+ - Change use of $SOURCES to $SOURCE in all TeX-related Tool modules. |
+ |
+ From Joel B. Mohler: |
+ |
+ - Make SCons aware that "\makeindex" in TeX source files means that |
+ related .ilg, .ind and .idx index files will be created. |
+ (NOTE: This still needs to search for the string in \include files.) |
+ |
+ - Prevent scanning the TeX .aux file for additional files from |
+ trying to remove it twice when the -c option is used. |
+ |
+ From Leanid Nazdrynau: |
+ |
+ - Give the MSVC RES (resource) Builder a src_builder list and a .rc |
+ src_suffix so other builders can generate .rc files. |
+ |
+ From Matthew A. Nicholson: |
+ |
+ - Enhance Install() and InstallAs() to handle directory trees as sources. |
+ |
+ From Jan Nijtmans: |
+ |
+ - Don't use the -fPIC flag when using gcc on Windows (e.g. MinGW). |
+ |
+ From Greg Noel: |
+ |
+ - Add an env.ParseFlags() method that provides separate logic for |
+ parsing GNU tool chain flags into a dictionary. |
+ |
+ - Add an env.MergeFlags() method to apply an arbitrary dictionary |
+ of flags to a construction environment's variables. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Fix parsing tripartite Intel C compiler version numbers on Linux. |
+ |
+ - Extend the ParseConfig() function to recognize -arch and |
+ -isysroot options. |
+ |
+ - Have the error message list the known suffixes when a Builder call |
+ can't build a source file with an unknown suffix. |
+ |
+ From Karol Pietrzak: |
+ |
+ - Avoid recursive calls to main() in the program snippet used by the |
+ SConf subsystem to test linking against libraries. This changes the |
+ default behavior of CheckLib() and CheckLibWithHeader() to print |
+ "Checking for C library foo..." instead of "Checking for main() |
+ in C library foo...". |
+ |
+ From John Pye: |
+ |
+ - Throw an exception if a command called by ParseConfig() or |
+ ParseFlags() returns an error. |
+ |
+ From Stefan Seefeld: |
+ |
+ - Initial infrastructure for running SCons tests under QMTest. |
+ |
+ From Sohail Somani: |
+ |
+ - Fix tests that fail due to gcc warnings. |
+ |
+ From Dobes Vandermeer: |
+ |
+ - In stack traces, print the full paths of SConscript files. |
+ |
+ From Atul Varma: |
+ |
+ - Fix detection of Visual C++ Express Edition. |
+ |
+ From Dobes Vandermeer: |
+ |
+ - Let the src_dir option to the SConscript() function affect all the |
+ the source file paths, instead of treating all source files paths |
+ as relative to the SConscript directory itself. |
+ |
+ From Nicolas Vigier: |
+ |
+ - Fix finding Fortran modules in build directories. |
+ |
+ - Fix use of BuildDir() when the source file in the source directory |
+ is a symlink with a relative path. |
+ |
+ From Edward Wang: |
+ |
+ - Fix the Memoizer when the SCons Python modules are executed from |
+ .pyo files at different locations from where they were compiled. |
+ |
+ From Johan Zander: |
+ |
+ - Fix missing os.path.join() when constructing the $FRAMEWORKSDKDIR/bin. |

+RELEASE 0.96.92 - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 21:08:22 -0400 |
+ |
+ NOTE: This was a pre-release of 0.97 for testing purposes. |
+ |
+ From Anonymous: |
+ |
+ - Fix the intelc.py Tool module to not throw an exception if the |
+ only installed version is something other than ia32. |
+ |
+ - Set $CCVERSION when using gcc. |
+ |
+ From Matthias: |
+ |
+ - Support generating project and solution files for Microsoft |
+ Visual Studio version 8. |
+ |
+ - Support generating more than one project file for a Microsoft |
+ Visual Studio solution file. |
+ |
+ - Add support for a support "runfile" parameter to Microsoft |
+ Visual Studio project file creation. |
+ |
+ - Put the project GUID, not the solution GUID, in the right spot |
+ in the solution file. |
+ |
+ From Erling Andersen: |
+ |
+ - Fix interpretation of Node.FS objects wrapped in Proxy instances, |
+ allowing expansion of things like ${File(TARGET)} in command lines. |
+ |
+ From Stanislav Baranov: |
+ |
+ - Add a separate MSVSSolution() Builder, with support for the |
+ following new construction variables: $MSVSBUILDCOM, $MSVSCLEANCOM, |
+ $MSVSENCODING, $MSVSREBUILDCOM, $MSVSSCONS, $MSVSSCONSCOM, |
+ $MSVSSCONSFLAGS, $MSVSSCONSCRIPT and $MSVSSOLUTIONCOM. |
+ |
+ From Ralph W. Grosse-Kunstleve and Patrick Mezard: |
+ |
+ - Remove unneceesary (and incorrect) SCons.Util strings on some function |
+ calls in SCons.Util. |
+ |
+ From Bob Halley: |
+ |
+ - Fix C/C++ compiler selection on AIX to not always use the external $CC |
+ environment variable. |
+ |
+ From August Hörandl: |
+ |
+ - Add a scanner for \include and \import files, with support for |
+ searching a directory list in $TEXINPUTS (imported from the external |
+ environment). |
+ |
+ - Support $MAKEINDEX, $MAKEINDEXCOM, $MAKEINDEXCOMSTR and |
+ $MAKEINDEXFLAGS for generating indices from .idx files. |
+ |
+ From Steven Johnson: |
+ |
+ - Add a NoClean() Environment method and function to override removal |
+ of targets during a -c clean, including documentation and tests. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Check for whether files exist on disk by listing the directory |
+ contents, not calling os.path.exists() file by file. This is |
+ somewhat more efficient in general, and may be significantly |
+ more efficient on Windows. |
+ |
+ - Minor speedups in the internal is_Dict(), is_List() and is_String() |
+ functions. |
+ |
+ - Fix a signature refactoring bug that caused Qt header files to |
+ get re-generated every time. |
+ |
+ - Don't fail when writing signatures if the .sconsign.dblite file is |
+ owned by a different user (e.g. root) from a previous run. |
+ |
+ - When deleting variables from stacked OverrideEnvironments, don't |
+ throw a KeyError if we were able to delte the variable from any |
+ Environment in the stack. |

+ - Get rid of the last indentation tabs in the SCons source files and |
+ add -tt to the Python invocations in the packaging build and the |
+ tests so they don't creep back in. |
+ |
+ - In Visual Studio project files, put quotes around the -C directory |
+ so everything works even if the path has spaces in it. |
+ |
+ - The Intel Fortran compiler uses -object:$TARGET, not "-o $TARGET", |
+ when building object files on Windows. Have the the ifort Tool |
+ modify the default command lines appropriately. |
+ |
+ - Document the --debug=explain option in the man page. (How did we |
+ miss this?) |
+ |
+ - Add a $LATEXRETRIES variable to allow configuration of the number of |
+ times LaTex can be re-called to try to resolve undefined references. |
+ |
+ - Change the order of the arguments to Configure.Checklib() to match |
+ the documentation. |
+ |
+ - Handle signature calculation properly when the Python function used |
+ for a FunctionAction is an object method. |
+ |
+ - On Windows, assume that absolute path names without a drive letter |
+ refer to the drive on which the SConstruct file lives. |
+ |
+ - Add /usr/ccs/bin to the end of the the default external execution |
+ PATH on Solaris. |
+ |
+ - Add $PKGCHK and $PKGINFO variables for use on Solaris when searching |
+ for the SunPRO C++ compiler. Make the default value for $PKGCHK |
+ be /usr/sbin/pgkchk (since /usr/sbin isn't usually on the external |
+ execution $PATH). |
+ |
+ - Fix a man page example of overriding variables when calling |
+ SharedLibrary() to also set the $LIBSUFFIXES variable. |
+ |
+ - Add a --taskmastertrace=FILE option to give some insight on how |
+ the taskmaster decides what Node to build next. |
+ |
+ - Changed the names of the old $WIN32DEFPREFIX, $WIN32DEFSUFFIX, |
+ $WIN32DLLPREFIX and $WIN32IMPLIBPREFIX construction variables to |
+ new $WINDOWSDEFPREFIX, $WINDOWSDEFSUFFIX, $WINDOWSDLLPREFIX and |
+ $WINDOWSIMPLIBPREFIX construction variables. The old names are now |
+ deprecated, but preserved for backwards compatibility. |
+ |
+ - Fix (?) a runtest.py hang on Windows when the --xml option is used. |
+ |
+ - Change the message when an error occurs trying to interact with the |
+ file system to report the target(s) in square brackets (as before) and |
+ the actual file or directory that encountered the error afterwards. |
+ |
+ From Chen Lee: |
+ |
+ - Add x64 support for Microsoft Visual Studio 8. |
+ |
+ From Baptiste Lepilleur: |
+ |
+ - Support the --debug=memory option on Windows when the Python version |
+ has the win32process and win32api modules. |
+ |
+ - Add support for Visual Studio 2005 Pro. |
+ |
+ - Fix portability issues in various tests: test/Case.py, |
+ Test/Java/{JAR,JARCHDIR,JARFLAGS,JAVAC,JAVACFLAGS,JAVAH,RMIC}.py, |
+ test/MSVS/vs-{6.0,7.0,7.1,8.0}-exec.py, |
+ test/Repository/{Java,JavaH,RMIC}.py, |
+ test/QT/{generated-ui,installed,up-to-date,warnings}.py, |
+ test/ZIP/ZIP.py. |
+ |
+ - Ignore pkgchk errors on Solaris when searching for the C++ compiler. |
+ |
+ - Speed up the SCons/EnvironmentTests.py unit tests. |
+ |
+ - Add a --verbose= option to runtest.py to print executed commands |
+ and their output at various levels. |
+ |
+ From Christian Maaser: |
+ |
+ - Add support for Visual Studio Express Editions. |
+ |
+ - Add support for Visual Studio 8 *.manifest files, includng |
+ new $WINDOWS_INSERT_MANIFEST, $WINDOWSPROGMANIFESTSUFFIX, |
+ $WINDOWSPROGMANIFESTPREFIX, $WINDOWSPROGMANIFESTSUFFIX, |
+ $WINDOWSSHLIBMANIFESTPREFIX and $WINDOWSSHLIBMANIFESTSUFFIX |
+ construction variables. |
+ |
+ From Adam MacBeth: |
+ |
+ - Fix detection of additional Java inner classes following use of a |
+ "new" keyword inside an inner class. |
+ |
+ From Sanjoy Mahajan: |
+ |
+ - Correct TeX-related command lines to just $SOURCE, not $SOURCES |
+ |
+ From Patrick Mezard: |
+ |
+ - Execute build commands for a command-line target if any of the |
+ files built along with the target is out of date or non-existent, |
+ not just if the command-line target itself is out of date. |
+ |
+ - Fix the -n option when used with -c to print all of the targets |
+ that will be removed for a multi-target Builder call. |
+ |
+ - If there's no file in the source directory, make sure there isn't |
+ one in the build directory, too, to avoid dangling files left |
+ over from previous runs when a source file is removed. |
+ |
+ - Allow AppendUnique() and PrependUnique() to append strings (and |
+ other atomic objects) to lists. |
+ |
+ From Joel B. Mohler: |
+ |
+ - Extend latex.py, pdflatex.py, pdftex.py and tex.py so that building |
+ from both TeX and LaTeX files uses the same logic to call $BIBTEX |
+ when it's necessary, to call $MAKEINDEX when it's necessary, and to |
+ call $TEX or $LATEX multiple times to handle undefined references. |
+ |
+ - Add an emitter to the various TeX builders so that the generated |
+ .aux and .log files also get deleted by the -c option. |
+ |
+ From Leanid Nazdrynau: |
+ |
+ - Fix the Qt UIC scanner to work with generated .ui files (by using |
+ the FindFile() function instead of checking by-hand for the file). |
+ |
+ From Jan Nieuwenhuizen: |
+ |
+ - Fix a problem with interpreting quoted argument lists on command lines. |
+ |
+ From Greg Noel: |
+ |
+ - Add /sw/bin to the default execution PATH on Mac OS X. |
+ |
+ From Kian Win Ong: |
+ |
+ - When building a .jar file and there is a $JARCHDIR, put the -C |
+ in front of each .class file on the command line. |
+ |
+ - Recognize the Java 1.5 enum keyword. |
+ |
+ From Asfand Yar Qazi: |
+ |
+ - Add /opt/bin to the default execution PATH on all POSIX platforms |
+ (between /usr/local/bin and /bin). |
+ |
+ From Jon Rafkind: |
+ |
+ - Fix the use of Configure() contexts from nested subsidiary |
+ SConscript files. |
+ |
+ From Christoph Schulz: |
+ |
+ - Add support for $CONFIGUREDIR and $CONFIGURELOG variables to control |
+ the directory and logs for configuration tests. |
+ |
+ - Add support for a $INSTALLSTR variable. |
+ |
+ - Add support for $RANLIBCOM and $RANLIBCOMSTR variables (which fixes |
+ a bug when setting $ARCOMSTR). |
+ |
+ From Amir Szekely: |
+ |
+ - Add use of $CPPDEFINES to $RCCOM (resource file compilation) on MinGW. |
+ |
+ From Erick Tryzelaar: |
+ |
+ - Fix the error message when trying to report that a given option is |
+ not gettable/settable from an SConscript file. |
+ |
+ From Dobes Vandermeer: |
+ |
+ - Add support for SCC and other settings in Microsoft Visual |
+ Studio project and solution files: $MSVS_PROJECT_BASE_PATH, |
+ $MSVS_PROJECT_GUID, $MSVS_SCC_AUX_PATH, $MSVS_SCC_LOCAL_PATH, |
+ $MSVS_SCC_PROJECT_NAME, $MSVS_SCC_PROVIDER, |
+ |
+ - Add support for using a $SCONS_HOME variable (imported from the |
+ external environment, or settable internally) to put a shortened |
+ SCons execution line in the Visual Studio project file. |
+ |
+ From David J. Van Maren: |
+ |
+ - Only filter common prefixes from source files names in Visual Studio |
+ project files if the prefix is a complete (sub)directory name. |
+ |
+ From Thad Ward: |
+ |
+ - If $MSVSVERSIONS is already set, don't overwrite it with |
+ information from the registry. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.96.91 - Thu, 08 Sep 2005 07:18:23 -0400 |
+ |
+ NOTE: This was a pre-release of 0.97 for testing purposes. |
+ |
+ From Chad Austin: |
+ |
+ - Have the environment store the toolpath and re-use it to find Tools |
+ modules during later Copy() or Tool() calls (unless overridden). |
+ |
+ - Normalize the directory path names in SConsignFile() database |
+ files so the same signature file can interoperate on Windows and |
+ non-Windows systems. |
+ |
+ - Make --debug=stacktrace print a stacktrace when a UserError is thrown. |
+ |
+ - Remove an old, erroneous cut-and-paste comment in Scanner/Dir.py. |
+ |
+ From Stanislav Baranov: |
+ |
+ - Make it possible to support with custom Alias (sub-)classes. |
+ |
+ - Allow Builders to take empty source lists when called. |
+ |
+ - Allow access to both TARGET and SOURCE in $*PATH expansions. |
+ |
+ - Allow SConscript files to modify BUILD_TARGETS. |
+ |
+ From Timothee Besset: |
+ |
+ - Add support for Objective C/C++ .m and .mm file suffixes (for |
+ Mac OS X). |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain |
+ |
+ - Fix the PharLap linkloc.py module to use target+source arguments |
+ when calling env.subst(). |
+ |
+ From Bjorn Eriksson: |
+ |
+ - Fix an incorrect Command() keyword argument in the man page. |
+ |
+ - Add a $TEMPFILEPREFIX variable to control the prefix or flag used |
+ to pass a long-command-line-execution tempfile to a command. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Enhanced the SCons setup.py script to install man pages on |
+ UNIX/Linux systems. |
+ |
+ - Add support for an Options.FormatOptionHelpText() method that can |
+ be overridden to customize the format of Options help text. |
+ |
+ - Add a global name for the Entry class (which had already been |
+ documented). |
+ |
+ - Fix re-scanning of generated source files for implicit dependencies |
+ when the -j option is used. |
+ |
+ - Fix a dependency problem that caused $LIBS scans to not be added |
+ to all of the targets in a multiple-target builder call, which |
+ could cause out-of-order builds when the -j option is used. |
+ |
+ - Store the paths of source files and dependencies in the .sconsign* |
+ file(s) relative to the target's directory, not relative to the |
+ top-level SConstruct directory. This starts to make it possible to |
+ subdivide the dependency tree arbitrarily by putting an SConstruct |
+ file in every directory and using content signatures. |
+ |
+ - Add support for $YACCHFILESUFFIX and $YACCHXXFILESUFFIX variables |
+ that accomodate parser generators that write header files to a |
+ different suffix than the hard-coded .hpp when the -d option is used. |
+ |
+ - The default behavior is now to store signature information in a |
+ single .sconsign.dblite file in the top-level SConstruct directory. |
+ The old behavior of a separate .sconsign file in each directory can |
+ be specified by calling SConsignFile(None). |
+ |
+ - Remove line number byte codes within the signature calculation |
+ of Python function actions, so that changing the location of an |
+ otherwise unmodified Python function doesn't cause rebuilds. |
+ |
+ - Fix AddPreAction() and AddPostAction() when an action has more than |
+ one target file: attach the actions to the Executor, not the Node. |
+ |
+ - Allow the source directory of a BuildDir / build_dir to be outside |
+ of the top-level SConstruct directory tree. |
+ |
+ - Add a --debug=nomemoizer option that disables the Memoizer for clearer |
+ looks at the counts and profiles of the underlying function calls, |
+ not the Memoizer wrappers. |
+ |
+ - Print various --debug= stats even if we exit early (e.g. using -h). |
+ |
+ - Really only use the cached content signature value if the file |
+ is older than --max-drift, not just if --max-drift is set. |
+ |
+ - Remove support for conversion from old (pre 0.96) .sconsign formats. |
+ |
+ - Add support for a --diskcheck option to enable or disable various |
+ on-disk checks: that File and Dir nodes match on-disk entries; |
+ whether an RCS file exists for a missing source file; whether an |
+ SCCS file exists for a missing source file. |
+ |
+ - Add a --raw argument to the sconsign script, so it can print a |
+ raw representation of each entry's NodeInfo dictionary. |
+ |
+ - Add the 'f90' and 'f95' tools to the list of Fortran compilers |
+ searched for by default. |
+ |
+ - Add the +Z option by default when compiling shared objects on |
+ HP-UX. |
+ |
+ From Chen Lee: |
+ |
+ - Handle Visual Studio project and solution files in Unicode. |
+ |
+ From Sanjoy Mahajan: |
+ |
+ - Fix a bad use of Copy() in an example in the man page, and a |
+ bad regular expression example in the man page and User's Guide. |
+ |
+ From Shannon Mann: |
+ |
+ - Have the Visual Studio project file(s) echo "Starting SCons" before |
+ executing SCons, mainly to work around a quote-stripping bug in |
+ (some versions of?) the Windows cmd command executor. |
+ |
+ From Georg Mischler: |
+ |
+ - Remove the space after the -o option when invoking the Borland |
+ BCC compiler; some versions apparently require that the file name |
+ argument be concatenated with the option. |
+ |
+ From Leanid Nazdrynau: |
+ |
+ - Fix the Java parser's handling of backslashes in strings. |
+ |
+ From Greg Noel: |
+ |
+ - Add construction variables to support frameworks on Mac OS X: |
+ $FRAMEWORKS, $FRAMEWORKPREFIX, $FRAMEWORKPATH, $FRAMEWORKPATHPREFIX. |
+ |
+ - Re-order link lines so the -o option always comes right after the |
+ command name. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Add support for Intel C++ beta 9.0 (both 32 and 64 bit versions). |
+ |
+ - Document the new $FRAMEWORK* variables for Mac OS X. |
+ |
+ From Karol Pietrzak: |
+ |
+ - Add $RPATH (-R) support to the Sun linker Tool (sunlink). |
+ |
+ - Add a description of env.subst() to the man page. |
+ |
+ From Chris Prince: |
+ |
+ - Look in the right directory, not always the local directory, for a |
+ same-named file or directory conflict on disk. |
+ |
+ - On Windows, preserve the external environment's %SYSTEMDRIVE% |
+ variable, too. |
+ |
+ From Craig Scott: |
+ |
+ - Have the Fortran module emitter look for Fortan modules to be created |
+ relative to $FORTRANMODDIR, not the top-level directory. |
+ |
+ - When saving Options to a file, run default values through the |
+ converter before comparing them with the set values. This correctly |
+ suppresses Boolean Option values from getting written to the saved |
+ file when they're one of the many synonyms for a default True or |
+ False value. |
+ |
+ - Fix the Fortran Scanner's ability to handle a module being used |
+ in the same file in which it is defined. |
+ |
+ From Steve-o: |
+ |
+ - Add the -KPIC option by default when compiling shared objects on |
+ Solaris. |
+ |
+ - Change the default suffix for Solaris objects to .o, to conform to |
+ Sun WorkShop's expectations. Change the profix to so_ so they can |
+ still be differentiated from static objects in the same directory. |
+ |
+ From Amir Szekely: |
+ |
+ - When calling the resource compiler on MinGW, add --include-dir and |
+ the source directory so it finds the source file. |
+ |
+ - Update EnsureSConsVersion() to support revision numbers. |
+ |
+ From Greg Ward: |
+ |
+ - Fix a misplaced line in the man page. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.96.90 - Tue, 15 Feb 2005 21:21:12 +0000 |
+ |
+ NOTE: This was a pre-release of 0.97 for testing purposes. |
+ |
+ From Anonymous: |
+ |
+ - Fix Java parsing to avoid erroneously identifying a new array |
+ of class instances as an anonymous inner class. |
+ |
+ - Fix a typo in the man page description of PathIsDirCreate. |
+ |
+ From Chad Austin: |
+ |
+ - Allow Help() to be called multiple times, appending to the help |
+ text each call. |
+ |
+ - Allow Tools found on a toolpath to import Python modules from |
+ their local directory. |
+ |
+ From Steve Christensen: |
+ |
+ - Handle exceptions from Python functions as build actions. |
+ |
+ - Add a set of canned PathOption validators: PathExists (the default), |
+ PathIsFile, PathIsDir and PathIsDirCreate. |
+ |
+ From Matthew Doar: |
+ |
+ - Add support for .lex and .yacc file suffixes for Lex and Yacc files. |
+ |
+ From Eric Frias: |
+ |
+ - Huge performance improvement: wrap the tuples representing an |
+ include path in an object, so that the time it takes to hash the |
+ path doesn't grow porportionally to the length of the path. |
+ |
+ From Gottfried Ganssauge: |
+ |
+ - Fix SCons on SuSE/AMD-64 Linux by having the wrapper script also |
+ check for the build engine in the parent directory of the Python |
+ library directory (/usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib). |
+ |
+ From Stephen Kennedy: |
+ |
+ - Speed up writing the .sconsign file at the end of a run by only |
+ calling sync() once at the end, not after every entry. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - When compiling with Microsoft Visual Studio, don't include the ATL and |
+ MFC directories in the default INCLUDE and LIB environment variables. |
+ |
+ - Remove the following deprecated features: the ParseConfig() |
+ global function (deprecated in 0.93); the misspelled "validater" |
+ keyword to the Options.Add() method (deprecated in 0.91); the |
+ SetBuildSignatureType(), SetContentSignatureType(), SetJobs() and |
+ GetJobs() global functions (deprecated in 0.14). |
+ |
+ - Fix problems with corrupting the .sconsign.dblite file when |
+ interrupting builds by writing to a temporary file and renaming, |
+ not writing the file directly. |
+ |
+ - Fix a 0.96 regression where when running with -k, targets built from |
+ walking dependencies later on the command line would not realize |
+ that a dependency had failed an earlier build attempt, and would |
+ try to rebuild the dependent targets. |
+ |
+ - Change the final messages when using -k and errors occur from |
+ "{building,cleaning} terminated because of errors" to "done |
+ {building,cleaning} targets (errors occurred during {build,clean})." |
+ |
+ - Allow Configure.CheckFunc() to take an optional header argument |
+ (already supported by Conftest.py) to specify text at the top of |
+ the compiled test file. |
+ |
+ - Fix the --debug=explain output when a Python function action changed |
+ so it prints a meaningful string, not the binary representation of |
+ the function contents. |
+ |
+ - Allow a ListOption's default value(s) to be a Python list of specified |
+ values, not just a string containing a comma-separated list of names. |
+ |
+ - Add a ParseDepends() function that will parse up a list of explicit |
+ dependencies from a "make depend" style file. |
+ |
+ - Support the ability to change directory when executing an Action |
+ through "chdir" keyword arguments to Action and Builder creation |
+ and calls. |
+ |
+ - Fix handling of Action ojects (and other callables that don't match |
+ our calling arguments) in construction variable expansions. |
+ |
+ - On Win32, install scons.bat in the Python directory when installing |
+ from setup.py. (The bdist_wininst installer was already doing this.) |
+ |
+ - Fix env.SConscript() when called with a list of SConscipt files. |
+ (The SConscript() global function already worked properly.) |
+ |
+ - Add a missing newline to the end of the --debug=explain "unknown |
+ reasons" message. |
+ |
+ - Enhance ParseConfig() to work properly for spaces in between the -I, |
+ -L and -l options and their arguments. |
+ |
+ - Packaging build fix: Rebuild the files that are use to report the |
+ --version of SCons whenever the development version number changes. |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability to specify a target_factory of Dir() to a Builder, |
+ which the default create-a-directory Builder was interfering with. |
+ |
+ - Mark a directory as built if it's created as part of the preparation |
+ for another target, to avoid trying to build it again when it comes |
+ up in the target list. |
+ |
+ - Allow a function with the right calling signature to be put directly |
+ in an Environment's BUILDERS dictionary, making for easier creation |
+ and use of wrappers (pseudo-Builders) that call other Builders. |
+ |
+ - On Python 2.x, wrap lists of Nodes returned by Builders in a UserList |
+ object that adds a method that makes str() object return a string |
+ with all of the Nodes expanded to their path names. (Builders under |
+ Python 1.5.2 still return lists to avoid TypeErrors when trying |
+ to extend() list, so Python 1.5.2 doesn't get pretty-printing of Node |
+ lists, but everything should still function.) |
+ |
+ - Allow Aliases to have actions that will be executed whenever |
+ any of the expanded Alias targets are out of date. |
+ |
+ - Fix expansion of env.Command() overrides within target and |
+ source file names. |
+ |
+ - Support easier customization of what's displayed by various default |
+ actions by adding lots of new construction variables: $ARCOMSTR, |
+ $ASCOMSTR, $ASPPCOMSTR, $BIBTEXCOMSTR, $BITKEEPERCOMSTR, $CCCOMSTR, |
+ $CVSCOMSTR, $CXXCOMSTR, $DCOMSTR, $DVIPDFCOMSTR, $F77COMSTR, |
+ $F90COMSTR, $F95COMSTR, $FORTRANCOMSTR, $GSCOMSTR, $JARCOMSTR, |
+ $JAVACCOMSTR, $JAVAHCOMSTR, $LATEXCOMSTR, $LEXCOMSTR, $LINKCOMSTR, |
+ $M4COMSTR, $MIDLCOMSTR, $P4COMSTR, $PCHCOMSTR, $PDFLATEXCOMSTR, |
+ $PDFTEXCOMSTR, $PSCOMSTR, $QT_MOCFROMCXXCOMSTR, $QT_MOCFROMHCOMSTR, |
+ $QT_UICCOMSTR, $RCCOMSTR, $REGSVRCOMSTR, $RCS_COCOMSTR, $RMICCOMSTR, |
+ $SCCSCOMSTR, $SHCCCOMSTR, $SHCXXCOMSTR, $SHF77COMSTR, $SHF90COMSTR, |
+ $SHF95COMSTR, $SHFORTRANCOMSTR, $SHLINKCOMSTR, $SWIGCOMSTR, |
+ $TARCOMSTR, $TEXCOMSTR, $YACCCOMSTR and $ZIPCOMSTR. |
+ |
+ - Add an optional "map" keyword argument to ListOption() that takes a |
+ dictionary to map user-specified values to legal values from the list |
+ (like EnumOption() already doee). |
+ |
+ - Add specific exceptions to try:-except: blocks without any listed, |
+ so that they won't catch and mask keyboard interrupts. |
+ |
+ - Make --debug={tree,dtree,stree} print something even when there's |
+ a build failure. |
+ |
+ - Fix how Scanners sort the found dependencies so that it doesn't |
+ matter whether the dependency file is in a Repository or not. |
+ This may cause recompilations upon upgrade to this version. |
+ |
+ - Make AlwaysBuild() work with Alias and Python value Nodes (making |
+ it much simpler to support aliases like "clean" that just invoke |
+ an arbitrary action). |
+ |
+ - Have env.ParseConfig() use AppendUnique() by default to suppress |
+ duplicate entries from multiple calls. Add a "unique" keyword |
+ argument to allow the old behavior to be specified. |
+ |
+ - Allow the library modules imported by an SConscript file to get at |
+ all of the normally-available global functions and variables by saying |
+ "from SCons.Script import *". |
+ |
+ - Add a --debug=memoizer option to print Memoizer hit/mass statistics. |
+ |
+ - Allow more than one --debug= option to be set at a time. |
+ |
+ - Change --debug=count to report object counts before and after |
+ reading SConscript files and before and after building targets. |
+ |
+ - Change --debug=memory output to line up the numbers and to better |
+ match (more or less) the headers on the --debug=count columns. |
+ |
+ - Speed things up when there are lists of targets and/or sources by |
+ getting rid of some N^2 walks of the lists involved. |
+ |
+ - Cache evaluation of LazyActions so we don't create a new object |
+ for each invocation. |
+ |
+ - When scanning, don't create Nodes for include files that don't |
+ actually exist on disk. |
+ |
+ - Make supported global variables CScanner, DScanner, ProgramScanner and |
+ SourceFileScanner. Make SourceFileScanner.add_scanner() a supported |
+ part of the public interface. Keep the old SCons.Defaults.*Scan names |
+ around for a while longer since some people were already using them. |
+ |
+ - By default, don't scan directories for on-disk files. Add a |
+ DirScanner global scanner that can be used in Builders or Command() |
+ calls that want source directory trees scanned for on-disk changes. |
+ Have the Tar() and Zip() Builders use the new DirScanner to preserve |
+ the behavior of rebuilding a .tar or .zip file if any file or |
+ directory under a source tree changes. Add Command() support for |
+ a source_scanner keyword argument to Command() that can be set to |
+ DirScanner to get this behavior. |
+ |
+ - Documentation changes: Explain that $CXXFLAGS contains $CCFLAGS |
+ by default. Fix a bad target_factory example in the man page. |
+ Add appendices to the User's Guide to cover the available Tools, |
+ Builders and construction variables. Comment out the build of |
+ the old Python 10 paper, which doesn't build on all systems and |
+ is old enough at this point that it probably isn't worth the |
+ effort to make it do so. |
+ |
+ From Wayne Lee: |
+ |
+ - Avoid "maximum recursion limit" errors when removing $(-$) pairs |
+ from long command lines. |
+ |
+ From Clive Levinson: |
+ |
+ - Make ParseConfig() recognize and add -mno-cygwin to $LINKFLAGS and |
+ $CCFLAGS, and -mwindows to $LINKFLAGS. |
+ |
+ From Michael McCracken: |
+ |
+ - Add a new "applelink" tool to handle the things like Frameworks and |
+ bundles that Apple has added to gcc for linking. |
+ |
+ - Use more appropriate default search lists of linkers, compilers and |
+ and other tools for the 'darwin' platform. |
+ |
+ - Add a LoadableModule Builder that builds a bundle on Mac OS X (Darwin) |
+ and a shared library on other systems. |
+ |
+ - Improve SWIG tests for use on Mac OS X (Darwin). |
+ |
+ From Elliot Murphy: |
+ |
+ - Enhance the tests to guarantee persistence of ListOption |
+ values in saved options files. |
+ |
+ - Supply the help text when -h is used with the -u, -U or -D options. |
+ |
+ From Christian Neeb: |
+ |
+ - Fix the Java parser's handling of string definitions to avoid ignoring |
+ subsequent code. |
+ |
+ From Han-Wen Nienhuys: |
+ |
+ - Optimize variable expansion by: using the re.sub() method (when |
+ possible); not using "eval" for variables for which we can fetch the |
+ value directory; avoiding slowing substitution logic when there's no |
+ '$' in the string. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Add an Environment.Dump() method to print the contents of a |
+ construction environment. |
+ |
+ - Allow $LIBS (and similar variables) to contain explicit File Nodes. |
+ |
+ - Change ParseConfig to add the found library names directly to the |
+ $LIBS variable, instead of returning them. |
+ |
+ - Add ParseConfig() support for the -framework GNU linker option. |
+ |
+ - Add a PRINT_CMD_LINE_FUNC construction variable to allow people |
+ to filter (or log) command-line output. |
+ |
+ - Print an internal Python stack trace in response to an otherwise |
+ unexplained error when --debug=stacktrace is specified. |
+ |
+ - Add a --debug=findlibs option to print what's happening when |
+ the scanner is searching for libraries. |
+ |
+ - Allow Tool specifications to be passed a dictionary of keyword |
+ arguments. |
+ |
+ - Support an Options default value of None, in which case the variable |
+ will not be added to the construction environment unless it's set |
+ explicitly by the user or from an Options file. |
+ |
+ - Avoid copying __builtin__ values into a construction environment's |
+ dictionary when evaluating construction variables. |
+ |
+ - Add a new cross-platform intelc.py Tool that can detect and |
+ configure the Intel C++ v8 compiler on both Windows, where it's |
+ named icl, and Linux, where it's named icc. It also checks that |
+ the directory specified in the Windows registry exists, and sets a |
+ new $INTEL_C_COMPILER_VERSION construction variable to identify the |
+ version being used. (Niall Douglas contributed an early prototype |
+ of parts of this module.) |
+ |
+ - Fix the private Conftest._Have() function so it doesn't change |
+ non-alphanumeric characters to underscores. |
+ |
+ - Supply a better error message when a construction variable expansion |
+ has an unknown attribute. |
+ |
+ - Documentation changes: Update the man page to describe use of |
+ filenames or Nodes in $LIBS. |
+ |
+ From Chris Pawling: |
+ |
+ - Have the linkloc tool use $MSVS_VERSION to select the Microsoft |
+ Visual Studio version to use. |
+ |
+ From Kevin Quick: |
+ |
+ - Fix the Builder name returned from ListBuilders and other instances |
+ of subclasses of the BuilderBase class. |
+ |
+ - Add Builders and construction variables to support rpcgen: |
+ RPCGenClient(), RPCGenHeader(), RPCGenService(), RPCGenXDR(), |
+ $RPCGEN, $RPCGENFLAGS, $RPCGENCLIENTFLAGS, $RPCGENHEADERFLAGS, |
+ $RPCGENSERVICEFLAGS, $RPCGENXDRFLAGS. |
+ |
+ - Update the man page to document that prefix and suffix Builder |
+ keyword arguments can be strings, callables or dictionaries. |
+ |
+ - Provide more info in the error message when a user tries to build |
+ a target multiple ways. |
+ |
+ - Fix Delete() when a file doesn't exist and must_exist=1. (We were |
+ unintentionally dependent on a bug in versions of the Python shutil.py |
+ module prior to Python 2.3, which would generate an exception for |
+ a nonexistent file even when ignore_errors was set.) |
+ |
+ - Only replace a Node's builder with a non-null source builder. |
+ |
+ - Fix a stack trace when a suffix selection dictionary is passed |
+ an empty source file list. |
+ |
+ - Allow optional names to be attached to Builders, for default |
+ Builders that don't get attached to construction environments. |
+ |
+ - Fix problems with Parallel Task Exception handling. |
+ |
+ - Build targets in an associated BuildDir even if there are targets |
+ or subdirectories locally in the source directory. |
+ |
+ - If a FunctionAction has a callable class as its underlying Python |
+ function, use its strfunction() method (if any) to display the |
+ action. |
+ |
+ - Fix handling when BuildDir() exists but is unwriteable. Add |
+ "Stop." to those error messages for consistency. |
+ |
+ - Catch incidents of bad builder creation (without an action) and |
+ supply meaningful error messages. |
+ |
+ - Fix handling of src_suffix values that aren't extensions (don't |
+ begin with a '.'). |
+ |
+ - Don't retrieve files from a CacheDir, but report what would happen, |
+ when the -n option is used. |
+ |
+ - Use the source_scanner from the target Node, not the source node |
+ itself. |
+ |
+ - Internal Scanners fixes: Make sure Scanners are only passed Nodes. |
+ Fix how a Scanner.Selector called its base class initialization. |
+ Make comparisons of Scanner objects more robust. Add a name to |
+ an internal default ObjSourceScanner. |
+ |
+ - Add a deprecated warning for use of the old "scanner" keyword argument |
+ to Builder creation. |
+ |
+ - Improve the --debug=explain message when the build action changes. |
+ |
+ - Test enhancements in SourceCode.py, option-n.py, midl.py. Better |
+ Command() and Scanner test coverage. Improved test infrastructure |
+ for -c output. |
+ |
+ - Refactor the interface between Action and Executor objects to treat |
+ Actions atomically. |
+ |
+ - The --debug=presub option will now report the pre-substitution |
+ each action seprately, instead of reporting the entire list before |
+ executing the actions one by one. |
+ |
+ - The --debug=explain option explaining a changed action will now |
+ (more correctly) show pre-substitution action strings, instead of |
+ the commands with substituted file names. |
+ |
+ - A Node (file) will now be rebuilt if its PreAction or PostAction |
+ actions change. |
+ |
+ - Python Function actions now have their calling signature (target, |
+ source, env) reported correctly when displayed. |
+ |
+ - Fix BuildDir()/build_dir handling when the build_dir is underneath |
+ the source directory and trying to use entries from the build_dir |
+ as sources for other targets in the build-dir. |
+ |
+ - Fix hard-coding of JDK path names in various Java tests. |
+ |
+ - Handle Python stack traces consistently (stop at the SConscript stack |
+ frame, by default) even if the Python source code isn't available. |
+ |
+ - Improve the performance of the --debug={tree,dtree} options. |
+ |
+ - Add --debug=objects logging of creation of OverrideWarner, |
+ EnvironmentCopy and EnvironmentOverride objects. |
+ |
+ - Fix command-line expansion of Python Value Nodes. |
+ |
+ - Internal cleanups: Remove an unnecessary scan argument. Associate |
+ Scanners only with Builders, not nodes. Apply overrides once when |
+ a Builder is called, not in multiple places. Cache results from the |
+ Node.FS.get_suffix() and Node.get_build_env() methods. Use the Python |
+ md5 modules' hexdigest() method, if there is one. Have Taskmaster |
+ call get_stat() once for each Node and re-use the value instead of |
+ calling it each time it needs the value. Have Node.depends_on() |
+ re-use the list from the children() method instead of calling it |
+ multiple times. |
+ |
+ - Use the correct scanner if the same source file is used for targets in |
+ two different environments with the same path but different scanners. |
+ |
+ - Collect logic for caching values in memory in a Memoizer class, |
+ which cleans up a lot of special-case code in various methods and |
+ caches additional values to speed up most configurations. |
+ |
+ - Add a PathAccept validator to the list of new canned PathOption |
+ validators. |
+ |
+ From Jeff Squyres: |
+ |
+ - Documentation changes: Use $CPPDEFINES instead of $CCFLAGS in man |
+ page examples. |
+ |
+ From Levi Stephen: |
+ |
+ - Allow $JARCHDIR to be expanded to other construction variables. |
+ |
+ From Christoph Wiedemann: |
+ |
+ - Add an Environment.SetDefault() method that only sets values if |
+ they aren't already set. |
+ |
+ - Have the qt.py Tool not override variables already set by the user. |
+ |
+ - Add separate $QT_BINPATH, $QT_CPPPATH and $QT_LIBPATH variables |
+ so these can be set individually, instead of being hard-wired |
+ relative to $QTDIR. |
+ |
+ - The %TEMP% and %TMP% external environment variables are now propagated |
+ automatically to the command execution environment on Windows systems. |
+ |
+ - A new --config= command-line option allows explicit control of |
+ of when the Configure() tests are run: --config=force forces all |
+ checks to be run, --config=cache uses all previously cached values, |
+ --config=auto (the default) runs tests only when dependency analysis |
+ determines it's necessary. |
+ |
+ - The Configure() subsystem can now write a config.h file with values |
+ like HAVE_STDIO_H, HAVE_LIBM, etc. |
+ |
+ - The Configure() subsystem now executes its checks silently when the |
+ -Q option is specified. |
+ |
+ - The Configure() subsystem now reports if a test result is being |
+ taken from cache, and prints the standard output and error output |
+ of tests even when cached. |
+ |
+ - Configure() test results are now reported as "yes" or "no" instead of |
+ "ok" or "failed." |
+ |
+ - Fixed traceback printing when calling the env.Configure() method |
+ instead of the Configure() global function. |
+ |
+ - The Configure() subsystem now caches build failures in a .sconsign |
+ file in the subdirectory, not a .cache file. This may cause |
+ tests to be re-executed the first time after you install 0.97. |
+ |
+ - Additional significant internal cleanups in the Configure() subsystem |
+ and its tests. |
+ |
+ - Have the Qt Builder make uic-generated files dependent on the .ui.h |
+ file, if one exists. |
+ |
+ - Add a test to make sure that SCons source code does not contain |
+ try:-except: blocks that catch all errors, which potentially catch |
+ and mask keyboard interrupts. |
+ |
+ - Fix us of TargetSignatures('content') with the SConf subsystem. |
+ |
+ From Russell Yanofsky: |
+ |
+ - Add support for the Metrowerks Codewarrior compiler and linker |
+ (mwcc and mwld). |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.96.1 - Mon, 23 Aug 2004 12:55:50 +0000 |
+ |
+ From Craig Bachelor: |
+ |
+ - Handle white space in the executable Python path name within in MSVS |
+ project files by quoting the path. |
+ |
+ - Correct the format of a GUID string in a solution (.dsw) file so |
+ MSVS can correctly "build enable" a project. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Add a must_exist flag to Delete() to let the user control whether |
+ it's an error if the specified entry doesn't exist. The default |
+ behavior is now to silently do nothing if it doesn't exist. |
+ |
+ - Package up the new Platform/darwin.py, mistakenly left out of 0.96. |
+ |
+ - Make the scons.bat REM statements into @REM so they aren't printed. |
+ |
+ - Make the SCons packaging SConscript files platform independent. |
+ |
+ From Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Fix scanning of pre-compiled header (.pch) files for #includes, |
+ broken in 0.96. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.96 - Wed, 18 Aug 2004 13:36:40 +0000 |
+ |
+ From Chad Austin: |
+ |
+ - Make the CacheDir() directory if it doesn't already exist. |
+ |
+ - Allow construction variable substitutions in $LIBS specifications. |
+ |
+ - Allow the emitter argument to a Builder() to be or expand to a list |
+ of emitter functions, which will be called in sequence. |
+ |
+ - Suppress null values in construction variables like $LIBS that use |
+ the internal _concat() function. |
+ |
+ - Remove .dll files from the construction variables searched for |
+ libraries that can be fed to Win32 compilers. |
+ |
+ From Chad Austin and Christoph Wiedemann: |
+ |
+ - Add support for a $RPATH variable to supply a list of directories |
+ to search for shared libraries when linking a program. Used by |
+ the GNU and IRIX linkers (gnulink and sgilink). |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - Restore the ability to do construction variable substitutions in all |
+ kinds of *PATH variables, even when the substitution returns a Node |
+ or other object. |
+ |
+ From Tom Epperly: |
+ |
+ - Allow the Java() Builder to take more than one source directory. |
+ |
+ From Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve: |
+ |
+ - Have SConsignFile() use, by default, a custom "dblite.py" that we can |
+ control and guarantee to work on all Python versions (or nearly so). |
+ |
+ From Jonathan Gurley: |
+ |
+ - Add support for the newer "ifort" versions of the Intel Fortran |
+ Compiler for Linux. |
+ |
+ From Bob Halley: |
+ |
+ - Make the new *FLAGS variable type work with copied Environments. |
+ |
+ From Chris Hoeppler: |
+ |
+ - Initialize the name of a Scanner.Classic scanner correctly. |
+ |
+ From James Juhasz: |
+ |
+ - Add support for the .dylib shared library suffix and the -dynamiclib |
+ linker option on Mac OS X. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Add an Execute() method for executing actions directly. |
+ |
+ - Support passing environment override keyword arguments to Command(). |
+ |
+ - Fix use of $MSVS_IGNORE_IDE_PATHS, which was broken when we added |
+ support for $MSVS_USE_MFC_DIRS last release. |
+ |
+ - Make env.Append() and env.Prepend() act like the underlying Python |
+ behavior when the variable being appended to is a UserList object. |
+ |
+ - Fix a regression that prevented the Command() global function in |
+ 0.95 from working with command-line strings as actions. |
+ |
+ - Fix checking out a file from a source code management system when |
+ the env.SourceCode() method was called with an individual file name |
+ or node, not a directory name or node. |
+ |
+ - Enhance the Task.make_ready() method to create a list of the |
+ out-of-date Nodes for the task for use by the wrapping interface. |
+ |
+ - Allow Scanners to pull the list of suffixes from the construction |
+ environment when the "skeys" keyword argument is a string containing |
+ a construction variable to be expanded. |
+ |
+ - Support new $CPPSUFFIXES, $DSUFFIXES $FORTRANSUFFIXES, and |
+ $IDLSUFFIXES. construction variables that contain the default list |
+ of suffixes to be scanned by a given type of scanner, allowing these |
+ suffix lists to be easily added to or overridden. |
+ |
+ - Speed up Node creation when calling a Builder by comparing whether two |
+ Environments are the same object, not if their underlying dictionaries |
+ are equivalent. |
+ |
+ - Add a --debug=explain option that reports the reason(s) why SCons |
+ thinks it must rebuild something. |
+ |
+ - Add support for functions that return platform-independent Actions |
+ to Chmod(), Copy(), Delete(), Mkdir(), Move() and Touch() files |
+ and/or directories. Like any other Actions, the returned Action |
+ object may be executed directly using the Execute() global function |
+ or env.Execute() environment method, or may be used as a Builder |
+ action or in an env.Command() action list. |
+ |
+ - Add support for the strfunction argument to all types of Actions: |
+ CommandAction, ListAction, and CommandGeneratorAction. |
+ |
+ - Speed up turning file system Nodes into strings by caching the |
+ values after we're finished reading the SConscript files. |
+ |
+ - Have ParseConfig() recognize and supporting adding the -Wa, -Wl, |
+ and -Wp, flags to ASFLAGS, LINKFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, respectively. |
+ |
+ - Change the .sconsign format and the checks for whether a Node is |
+ up-to-date to make dependency checks more efficient and correct. |
+ |
+ - Add wrapper Actions to SCons.Defaults for $ASCOM, $ASPPCOM, $LINKCOM, |
+ $SHLINKCOM, $ARCOM, $LEXCOM and $YACCCOM. This makes it possible |
+ to replace the default print behavior with a custom strfunction() |
+ for each of these. |
+ |
+ - When a Node has been built, don't walk the whole tree back to delete |
+ the parents's implicit dependencies, let returning up the normal |
+ Taskmaster descent take care of it for us. |
+ |
+ - Add documented support for separate target_scanner and source_scanner |
+ arguments to Builder creation, which allows different scanners to |
+ be applied to source files |
+ |
+ - Don't re-install or (re-generate) .h files when a subsidiary #included |
+ .h file changes. This eliminates incorrect circular dependencies |
+ with .h files generated from other source files. |
+ |
+ - Slim down the internal Sig.Calculator class by eliminating methods |
+ whose functionality is now covered by Node methods. |
+ |
+ - Document use of the target_factory and source_factory keyword |
+ arguments when creating Builder objects. Enhance Dir Nodes so that |
+ they can be created with user-specified Builder objects. |
+ |
+ - Don't blow up with stack trace when the external $PATH environment |
+ variable isn't set. |
+ |
+ - Make Builder calls return lists all the time, even if there's only |
+ one target. This keeps things consistent and easier to program to |
+ across platforms. |
+ |
+ - Add a Flatten() function to make it easier to deal with the Builders |
+ all returning lists of targets, not individual targets. |
+ |
+ - Performance optimizations in Node.FS.__doLookup(). |
+ |
+ - Man page fixes: formatting typos, misspellings, bad example. |
+ |
+ - User's Guide fixes: Fix the signatures of the various example |
+ *Options() calls. Triple-quote properly a multi-line Split example. |
+ |
+ - User's Guide additions: Chapter describing File and Directory |
+ Nodes. Section describing declarative nature of SCons functions in |
+ SConscript files. Better organization and clarification of points |
+ raised by Robert P. J. Day. Chapter describing SConf (Autoconf-like) |
+ functionality. Chapter describing how to install Python and |
+ SCons. Chapter describing Java builds. |
+ |
+ From Chris Murray: |
+ |
+ - Add a .win32 attribute to force file names to expand with |
+ Windows backslash path separators. |
+ |
+ - Fix escaping file names on command lines when the expansion is |
+ concatenated with another string. |
+ |
+ - Add support for Fortran 90 and Fortran 95. This adds $FORTRAN* |
+ variables that specify a default compiler, command-line, flags, |
+ etc. for all Fortran versions, plus separate $F90* and $F95* |
+ variables for when different compilers/flags/etc. must be specified |
+ for different Fortran versions. |
+ |
+ - Have individual tools that create libraries override the default |
+ $LIBPREFIX and $LIBSUFFIX values set by the platform. This makes |
+ it easier to use Microsoft Visual Studio tools on a CygWin platform. |
+ |
+ From Gary Oberbrunner: |
+ |
+ - Add a --debug=presub option to print actions prior to substitution. |
+ |
+ - Add a warning upon use of the override keywords "targets" and |
+ "sources" when calling Builders. These are usually mistakes which |
+ are otherwise silently (and confusingly) turned into construction |
+ variable overrides. |
+ |
+ - Try to find the ICL license file path name in the external environment |
+ and the registry before resorting to the hard-coded path name. |
+ |
+ - Add support for fetching command-line keyword=value arguments in |
+ order from an ARGLIST list. |
+ |
+ - Avoid stack traces when trying to read dangling symlinks. |
+ |
+ - Treat file "extensions" that only contain digits as part of the |
+ file basename. This supports version numbers as part of shared |
+ library names, for example. |
+ |
+ - Avoid problems when there are null entries (None or '') in tool |
+ lists or CPPPATH. |
+ |
+ - Add an example and explanation of how to use "tools = ['default', ..." |
+ when creating a construction environment. |
+ |
+ - Add a section describing File and Directory Nodes and some of their |
+ attributes and methods. |
+ |
+ - Have ParseConfig() add a returned -pthread flag to both $CCFLAGS |
+ and $LINKFLAGS. |
+ |
+ - Fix some test portability issues on Mac OS X (darwin). |
+ |
+ From Simon Perkins: |
+ |
+ - Fix a bug introduced in building shared libraries under MinGW. |
+ |
+ From Kevin Quick: |
+ |
+ - Handling SCons exceptions according to Pythonic standards. |
+ |
+ - Fix test/chained-build.py on systems that execute within one second. |
+ |
+ - Fix tests on systems where 'ar' warns about archive creation. |
+ |
+ From Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Fix use of the --implicit-cache option with timestamp signatures. |
+ |
+ - If Visual Studio is installed, assume the C/C++ compiler, the linker |
+ and the MIDL compiler that comes with it are available, too. |
+ |
+ - Better error messages when evaluating a construction variable |
+ expansion yields a Python syntax error. |
+ |
+ - Change the generation of PDB files when using Visual Studio from |
+ compile time to link time. |
+ |
+ From sam th: |
+ |
+ - Allow SConf.CheckLib() to search a list of libraries, like the |
+ Autoconf AC_SEARCH_LIBS macro. |
+ |
+ - Allow the env.WhereIs() method to take a "reject" argument to |
+ let it weed out specific path names. |
+ |
+ From Christoph Wiedemann: |
+ |
+ - Add new Moc() and Uic() Builders for more explicit control over |
+ Qt builds, plus new construction variables to control them: |
+ $QT_AUTOSCAN, $QT_DEBUG, $QT_MOCCXXPREFIX, $QT_MOCCXXSUFFIX, |
+ $QT_MOCHPREFIX, $QT_MOCHSUFFIX, $QT_UICDECLPREFIX, $QT_UICDECLSUFFIX, |
+ $QT_UICIMPLPREFIX, $QT_UICIMPLSUFFIX and $QT_UISUFFIX. |
+ |
+ - Add a new single_source keyword argument for Builders that enforces |
+ a single source file on calls to the Builder. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.95 - Mon, 08 Mar 2004 06:43:20 -0600 |
+ |
+ From Chad Austin: |
+ |
+ - Replace print statements with calls to sys.stdout.write() so output |
+ lines stay together when -j is used. |
+ |
+ - Add portability fixes for a number of tests. |
+ |
+ - Accomodate the fact that Cygwin's os.path.normcase() lies about |
+ the underlying system being case-sensitive. |
+ |
+ - Fix an incorrect _concat() call in the $RCINCFLAGS definition for |
+ the mingw Tool. |
+ |
+ - Fix a problem with the msvc tool with Python versions prior to 2.3. |
+ |
+ - Add support for a "toolpath" Tool() and Environment keyword that |
+ allows Tool modules to be found in specified local directories. |
+ |
+ - Work around Cygwin Python's silly fiction that it's using a |
+ case-sensitive file system. |
+ |
+ - More robust handling of data in VCComponents.dat. |
+ |
+ - If the "env" command is available, spawn commands with the more |
+ general "env -" instead of "env -i". |
+ |
+ From Kerim Borchaev: |
+ |
+ - Fix a typo in a msvc.py's registry lookup: "VCComponents.dat", not |
+ "VSComponents.dat". |
+ |
+ From Chris Burghart: |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability to save/restore a PackageOption to a file. |
+ |
+ From Steve Christensen: |
+ |
+ - Update the MSVS .NET and MSVC 6.0/7.0 path detection. |
+ |
+ From David M. Cooke: |
+ |
+ - Make the Fortran scanner case-insensitive for the INCLUDE string. |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - If no version of MSVC is detected but the tool is specified, |
+ use the MSVC 6.0 paths by default. |
+ |
+ - Ignore any "6.1" version of MSVC found in the registry; this is a |
+ phony version number (created by later service packs?) and would |
+ throw off the logic if the user had any non-default paths configure. |
+ |
+ - Correctly detect if the user has independently configured the MSVC |
+ "include," "lib" or "path" in the registry and use the appropriate |
+ values. Previously, SCons would only use the values if all three |
+ were set in the registry. |
+ |
+ - Make sure side-effect nodes are prepare()d before building their |
+ corresponding target. |
+ |
+ - Preserve the ability to call BuildDir() multiple times with the |
+ same target and source directory arguments. |
+ |
+ From Andy Friesen: |
+ |
+ - Add support for the Digital Mars "D" programming language. |
+ |
+ From Scott Lystig Fritchie: |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability to use a custom _concat() function in the |
+ construction environment when calling _stripixes(). |
+ |
+ - Make the message about ignoring a missing SConscript file into a |
+ suppressable Warning, not a hard-coded sys.stderr.write(). |
+ |
+ - If a builder can be called multiple times for a target (because |
+ the sources and overrides are identical, or it's a builder with the |
+ "multi" flag set), allow the builder to be called through multiple |
+ environments so long as the builders have the same signature for |
+ the environments in questions (that is, they're the same action). |
+ |
+ From Bob Halley: |
+ |
+ - When multiple targets are built by a single action, retrieve all |
+ of them from cache, not just the first target, and exec the build |
+ command if any of the targets isn't present in the cache. |
+ |
+ From Zephaniah Hull: |
+ |
+ - Fix command-line ARGUMENTS with multiple = in them. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Fix EnsureSConsVersion() so it checks against the SCons version, |
+ not the Python version, on Pythons with sys.version_info. |
+ |
+ - Don't swallow the AttributeError when someone uses an expansion like |
+ $TARGET.bak, so we can supply a more informative error message. |
+ |
+ - Fix an odd double-quote escape sequence in the man page. |
+ |
+ - Fix looking up a naked drive letter as a directory (Dir('C:')). |
+ |
+ - Support using File nodes in the LIBS construction variable. |
+ |
+ - Allow the LIBS construction variable to be a single string or File |
+ node, not a list, when only one library is needed. |
+ |
+ - Fix typos in the man page: JAVACHDIR => JARCHDIR; add "for_signature" |
+ to the __call__() example in the "Variable Substitution" section. |
+ |
+ - Correct error message spellings of "non-existant" to "non-existent." |
+ |
+ - When scanning for libraries to link with, don't append $LIBPREFIXES |
+ or $LIBSUFFIXES values to the $LIBS values if they're already present. |
+ |
+ - Add a ZIPCOMPRESSION construction variable to control whether the |
+ internal Python action for the Zip Builder compresses the file or |
+ not. The default value is zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED, which generates |
+ a compressed file. |
+ |
+ - Refactor construction variable expansion to support recursive |
+ expansion of variables (e.g. CCFLAGS = "$CCFLAGS -g") without going |
+ into an infinite loop. Support this in all construction variable |
+ overrides, as well as when copying Environments. |
+ |
+ - Fix calling Configure() from more than one subsidiary SConscript file. |
+ |
+ - Fix the env.Action() method so it returns the correct type of |
+ Action for its argument(s). |
+ |
+ - Fix specifying .class files as input to JavaH with the .class suffix |
+ when they weren't generated using the Java Builder. |
+ |
+ - Make the check for whether all of the objects going into a |
+ SharedLibrary() are shared work even if the object was built in a |
+ previous run. |
+ |
+ - Supply meaningful error messages, not stack traces, if we try to add |
+ a non-Node as a source, dependency, or ignored dependency of a Node. |
+ |
+ - Generate MSVS Project files that re-invoke SCons properly regardless |
+ of whether the file was built via scons.bat or scons.py. |
+ (Thanks to Niall Douglas for contributing code and testing.) |
+ |
+ - Fix TestCmd.py, runtest.py and specific tests to accomodate being |
+ run from directories whose paths include white space. |
+ |
+ - Provide a more useful error message if a construction variable |
+ expansion contains a syntax error during evaluation. |
+ |
+ - Fix transparent checkout of implicit dependency files from SCCS |
+ and RCS. |
+ |
+ - Added new --debug=count, --debug=memory and --debug=objects options. |
+ --debug=count and --debug=objects only print anything when run |
+ under Python 2.1 or later. |
+ |
+ - Deprecate the "overrides" keyword argument to Builder() creation |
+ in favor of using keyword argument values directly (like we do |
+ for builder execution and the like). |
+ |
+ - Always use the Builder overrides in substitutions, not just if |
+ there isn't a target-specific environment. |
+ |

+ example, places that still assumed SCons split strings on white |
+ space, and typos. |
+ |
+ - Support fetching arbitrary files from the TARGETS or SOURCES lists |
+ (e.g. ${SOURCES[2]}) when calculating the build signature of a |
+ command. |
+ |
+ - Don't silently swallow exceptions thrown by Scanners (or other |
+ exceptions while finding a node's dependent children). |
+ |
+ - Push files to CacheDir() before calling the superclass built() |
+ method (which may clear the build signature as part of clearing |
+ cached implicit dependencies, if the file has a source scanner). |
+ (Bug reported by Jeff Petkau.) |
+ |
+ - Raise an internal error if we attempt to push a file to CacheDir() |
+ with a build signature of None. |
+ |
+ - Add an explicit Exit() function for terminating early. |
+ |
+ - Change the documentation to correctly describe that the -f option |
+ doesn't change to the directory in which the specified file lives. |
+ |
+ - Support changing directories locally with SConscript directory |
+ path names relative to any SConstruct file specified with -f. |
+ This allows you to build in another directory by simply changing |
+ there and pointing at the SConstruct file in another directory. |
+ |
+ - Change the default SConscriptChdir() behavior to change to the |
+ SConscript directory while it's being read. |
+ |
+ - Fix an exception thrown when the -U option was used with no |
+ Default() target specified. |
+ |
+ - Fix -u so that it builds things in corresponding build directories |
+ when used in a source directory. |
+ |
+ From Lachlan O'Dea: |
+ |
+ - Add SharedObject() support to the masm tool. |
+ |
+ - Fix WhereIs() to return normalized paths. |
+ |
+ From Jeff Petkau: |
+ |
+ - Don't copy a built file to a CacheDir() if it's already there. |
+ |
+ - Avoid partial copies of built files in a CacheDir() by copying |
+ to a temporary file and renaming. |
+ |
+ From Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Fix incorrect dependency-cycle errors when an Aliased source doesn't |
+ exist. |

+ |
+ - Add support for IRIX and the SGI MIPSPro tool chain. |
+ |
+ - Support using the MSVC tool chain when running Cygwin Python. |
+ |
+ From Michael Cook: |
+ |
+ - Avoid losing signal bits in the exit status from a command, |
+ helping terminate builds on interrupt (CTRL+C). |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - Added new AddPreAction() and AddPostAction() functions that support |
+ taking additional actions before or after building specific targets. |
+ |
+ - Add support for the PharLap ETS tool chain. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Allow Python function Actions to specify a list of construction |
+ variables that should be included in the Action's signature. |
+ |
+ - Allow libraries in the LIBS variable to explicitly include the prefix |
+ and suffix, even when using the GNU linker. |
+ (Bug reported by Neal Becker.) |
+ |
+ - Use DOS-standard CR-LF line endings in the scons.bat file. |
+ (Bug reported by Gary Ruben.) |
+ |
+ - Doc changes: Eliminate description of deprecated "name" keyword |
+ argument from Builder definition (reported by Gary Ruben). |
+ |
+ - Support using env.Append() on BUILDERS (and other dictionaries). |
+ (Bug reported by Bj=F6rn Bylander.) |
+ |
+ - Setting the BUILDERS construction variable now properly clears |
+ the previous Builder attributes from the construction Environment. |
+ (Bug reported by Bj=F6rn Bylander.) |
+ |
+ - Fix adding a prefix to a file when the target isn't specified. |
+ (Bug reported by Esa Ilari Vuokko.) |
+ |
+ - Clean up error messages from problems duplicating into read-only |
+ BuildDir directories or into read-only files. |
+ |
+ - Add a CommandAction.strfunction() method, and add an "env" argument |
+ to the FunctionAction.strfunction() method, so that all Action |
+ objects have strfunction() methods, and the functions for building |
+ and returning a string both take the same arguments. |
+ |
+ - Add support for new CacheDir() functionality to share derived files |
+ between builds, with related options --cache-disable, --cache-force, |
+ and --cache-show. |
+ |
+ - Change the default behavior when no targets are specified to build |
+ everything in the current directory and below (like Make). This |
+ can be disabled by specifying Default(None) in an SConscript. |
+ |
+ - Revamp SCons installation to fix a case-sensitive installation |
+ on Win32 systems, and to add SCons-specific --standard-lib, |
+ --standalone-lib, and --version-lib options for easier user |
+ control of where the libraries get installed. |
+ |
+ - Fix the ability to directly import and use Platform and Tool modules |
+ that have been implicitly imported into an Environment(). |
+ |
+ - Add support for allowing an embedding interface to annotate a node |
+ when it's created. |
+ |
+ - Extend the SConscript() function to accept build_dir and duplicate |
+ keyword arguments that function like a BuildDir() call. |
+ |
+ From Steve Leblanc: |
+ |
+ - Fix the output of -c -n when directories are involved, so it |
+ matches -c. |
+ |
+ From Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Use a different shared object suffix (.os) when using gcc so shared |
+ and static objects can exist side-by-side in the same directory. |
+ |
+ - Allow the same object files on Win32 to be linked into either |
+ shared or static libraries. |
+ |
+ - Cache implicit cache values when using --implicit-cache. |

+RELEASE 0.10 - Thu, 16 Jan 2003 04:11:46 -0600 |
+ |
+ From Derrick 'dman' Hudson: |
+ |
+ - Support Repositories on other file systems by symlinking or |
+ copying files when hard linking won't work. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Remove Python bytecode (*.pyc) files from the scons-local packages. |
+ |
+ - Have FunctionActions print a description of what they're doing |
+ (a representation of the Python call). |
+ |
+ - Fix the Install() method so that, like other actions, it prints |
+ what would have happened when the -n option is used. |
+ |
+ - Don't create duplicate source files in a BuildDir when the -n |
+ option is used. |
+ |
+ - Refactor the Scanner interface to eliminate unnecessary Scanner |
+ calls and make it easier to write efficient scanners. |
+ |
+ - Added a "recursive" flag to Scanner creation that specifies the |
+ Scanner should be invoked recursively on dependency files returned |
+ by the scanner. |
+ |
+ - Significant performance improvement from using a more efficient |
+ check, throughout the code, for whether a Node has a Builder. |
+ |
+ - Fix specifying only the source file to MultiStepBuilders such as |
+ the Program Builder. (Bug reported by Dean Bair.) |
+ |
+ - Fix an exception when building from a file with the same basename as |
+ the subdirectory in which it lives. (Bug reported by Gerard Patel.) |
+ |
+ - Fix automatic deduction of a target file name when there are |
+ multiple source files specified; the target is now deduced from just |
+ the first source file in the list. |
+ |
+ - Documentation fixes: better initial explanation of SConscript files; |
+ fix a misformatted "table" in the StaticObject explanation. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight and Steve Leblanc: |
+ |
+ - Fix the -c option so it will remove symlinks. |
+ |
+ From Steve Leblanc: |
+ |
+ - Add a Clean() method to support removing user-specified targets |
+ when using the -c option. |
+ |
+ - Add a development script for running SCons through PyChecker. |
+ |
+ - Clean up things found by PyChecker (mostly unnecessary imports). |
+ |
+ - Add a script to use HappyDoc to create HTML class documentation. |
+ |
+ From Lachlan O'Dea: |
+ |
+ - Make the Environment.get() method return None by default. |
+ |
+ From Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Add SetJobs() and GetJobs() methods to allow configuration of the |
+ number of default jobs (still overridden by -j). |
+ |
+ - Convert the .sconsign file format from ASCII to a pickled Python |
+ data structure. |
+ |
+ - Error message cleanups: Made consistent the format of error |
+ messages (now all start with "scons: ***") and warning messages (now |
+ all start with "scons: warning:"). Caught more cases with the "Do |
+ not know how to build" error message. |
+ |
+ - Added support for the MinGW tool chain. |
+ |
+ - Added a --debug=includes option. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.09 - Thu, 5 Dec 2002 04:48:25 -0600 |

+ archiver), too. |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |

+ |
+ From Charles Crain and Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Add Repository() functionality, including the -Y option. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Fix auto-deduction of target names so that deduced targets end |
+ up in the same subdirectory as the source. |
+ |
+ - Don't remove source files specified on the command line! |
+ |
+ - Suport the Intel Fortran Compiler (ifl.exe). |
+ |
+ - Supply an error message if there are no command-line or |
+ Default() targets specified. |
+ |
+ - Fix the ASPPCOM values for the GNU assembler. |
+ (Bug reported by Brett Polivka.) |
+ |
+ - Fix an exception thrown when a Default() directory was specified |
+ when using the -U option. |
+ |
+ - Issue a warning when -c can't remove a target. |
+ |
+ - Eliminate unnecessary Scanner calls by checking for the |
+ existence of a file before scanning it. (This adds a generic |
+ hook to check an arbitrary condition before scanning.) |
+ |
+ - Add explicit messages to tell when we're "Reading SConscript files |
+ ...," "done reading SConscript files," "Building targets," and |
+ "done building targets." Add a -Q option to supress these. |
+ |
+ - Add separate $SHOBJPREFIX and $SHOBJSUFFIX construction variables |
+ (by default, the same as $OBJPREFIX and $OBJSUFFIX). |
+ |
+ - Add Make-like error messages when asked to build a source file, |
+ and before trying to build a file that doesn't have all its source |
+ files (including when an invalid drive letter is used on WIN32). |
+ |
+ - Add an scons-local-{version} package (in both .tar.gz and .zip |
+ flavors) to help people who want to ship SCons as a stand-alone |
+ build tool in their software packages. |
+ |
+ - Prevent SCons from unlinking files in certain situations when |
+ the -n option is used. |
+ |
+ - Change the name of Tool/lib.py to Tool/mslib.py. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight and Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Man page: document the fact that Builder calls return Node objects. |
+ |
+ From Steve LeBlanc: |
+ |
+ - Refactor option processing to use our own version of Greg Ward's |
+ Optik module, modified to run under Python 1.5.2. |
+ |
+ - Add a ParseConfig() command to modify an environment based on |
+ parsing output from a *-config command. |
+ |
+ From Jeff Petkau: |
+ |
+ - Fix interpretation of '#/../foo' on Win32 systems. |
+ |
+ From Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Fixed use of command lines with spaces in their arguments, |

+ the source file, even when hard linking isn't available. |
+ |
+ - Make -U be case insensitive on Win32 systems. |
+ |
+ - Issue a warning and continue when finding a corrupt .sconsign file. |
+ |
+ - Fix using an alias as a dependency of a target so that if one of the |
+ alias' dependencies gets rebuilt, the resulting target will, too. |
+ |
+ - Fix differently ordered targets causing unnecessary rebuilds |
+ on case insensitive systems. |
+ |
+ - Use os.system() to execute external commands whenever the "env" |
+ utility is available, which is much faster than fork()/exec(), |
+ and fixes the -j option on several platforms. |

+ |
+ - Add an Options() object for friendlier accomodation of command- |
+ line arguments. |
+ |
+ - Add support for Microsoft VC++ precompiled header (.pch) files, |
+ debugger (.pdb) files, and resource (.rc) files. |
+ |
+ - Don't compute the $_CPPINCFLAGS, $_F77INCFLAGS, $_LIBFLAGS and |
+ $_LIBDIRFLAGS variables each time a command is executed, define |

+ |
+ - Add EnsurePythonVersion() and EnsureSConsVersion() functions. |
+ |
+ - Fix the overly-verbose stack trace on ListBuilder build errors. |

+RELEASE 0.08 - Mon, 15 Jul 2002 12:08:51 -0500 |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - Fixed a bug with relative CPPPATH dirs when using BuildDir(). |
+ (Bug reported by Bob Summerwill.) |
+ |
+ - Added a warnings framework and a --warn option to enable or |
+ disable warnings. |
+ |
+ - Make the C scanner warn users if files referenced by #include |
+ directives cannot be found and --warn=dependency is specified. |
+ |
+ - The BUILDERS construction variable should now be a dictionary |
+ that maps builder names to actions. Existing uses of lists, |
+ and the Builder name= keyword argument, generate warnings |
+ about use of deprecated features. |
+ |
+ - Removed the "shared" keyword argument from the Object and |
+ Library builders. |
+ |
+ - Added separated StaticObject, SharedObject, StaticLibrary and |
+ SharedLibrary builders. Made Object and Library synonyms for |
+ StaticObject and StaticLibrary, respectively. |
+ |
+ - Add LIBS and LIBPATH dependencies for shared libraries. |
+ |
+ - Removed support for the prefix, suffix and src_suffix arguments |
+ to Builder() to be callable functions. |
+ |
+ - Fix handling file names with multiple dots. |
+ |
+ - Allow a build directory to be outside of the SConstruct tree. |
+ |
+ - Add a FindFile() function that searches for a file node with a |
+ specified name. |
+ |
+ - Add $CPPFLAGS to the shared-object command lines for g++ and gcc. |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain and Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Add a "tools=" keyword argument to Environment instantiation, |
+ and a separate Tools() method, for more flexible specification |
+ of tool-specific environment changes. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Add a "platform=" keyword argument to Environment instantiation, |
+ and a separate Platform() method, for more flexible specification |
+ of platform-specific environment changes. |
+ |
+ - Updated README instructions and setup.py code to catch an |
+ installation failure from not having distutils installed. |
+ |
+ - Add descriptions to the -H help text for -D, -u and -U so |
+ people can tell them apart. |
+ |
+ - Remove the old feature of automatically splitting strings |
+ of file names on white space. |
+ |
+ - Add a dependency Scanner for native Fortran "include" statements, |
+ using a new "F77PATH" construction variable. |
+ |
+ - Fix C #include scanning to detect file names with characters like |
+ '-' in them. |
+ |
+ - Add more specific version / build output to the -v option. |
+ |
+ - Add support for the GNU as, Microsoft masm, and nasm assemblers. |
+ |
+ - Allow the "target" argument to a Builder call to be omitted, in |
+ which case the target(s) are deduced from the source file(s) and the |
+ Builder's specified suffix. |
+ |
+ - Add a tar archive builder. |
+ |
+ - Add preliminary support for the OS/2 Platform, including the icc |
+ and ilink Tools. |
+ |
+ From Jeff Petkau: |
+ |
+ - Fix --implicit-cache if the scanner returns an empty list. |
+ |
+ From Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Add a "multi" keyword argument to Builder creation that specifies |
+ it's okay to call the builder multiple times for a target. |
+ |
+ - Set a "multi" on Aliases so multiple calls will append to an Alias. |
+ |
+ - Fix emitter functions' use of path names when using BuildDir or |
+ in subdirectories. |
+ |
+ - Fix --implicit-cache causing redundant rebuilds when the header |
+ file list changed. |
+ |
+ - Fix --implicit-cache when a file has no implicit dependencies and |
+ its source is generated. |
+ |
+ - Make the drive letters on Windows always be the same case, so that |
+ changes in the case of drive letters don't cause a rebuild. |
+ |
+ - Fall back to importing the SCons.TimeStamp module if the SCons.MD5 |
+ module can't be imported. |
+ |
+ - Fix interrupt handling to guarantee that a single interrupt will |
+ halt SCons both when using -j and not. |
+ |
+ - Fix .sconsign signature storage so that output files of one build |
+ can be safely used as input files to another build. |
+ |
+ - Added a --debug=time option to print SCons execution times. |
+ |
+ - Print an error message if a file can't be unlinked before being |
+ built, rather than just silently terminating the build. |
+ |
+ - Add a SideEffect() method that can be used to tell the build |
+ engine that a given file is created as a side effect of building |
+ a target. A file can be specified as a side effect of more than |
+ one build comand, in which case the commands will not be executed |
+ simultaneously. |
+ |
+ - Significant performance gains from not using our own version of |
+ the inefficient stock os.path.splitext() method, caching source |
+ suffix computation, code cleanup in MultiStepBuilder.__call__(), |
+ and replicating some logic in scons_subst(). |
+ |
+ - Add --implicit-deps-changed and --implicit-deps-unchanged options. |
+ |
+ - Add a GetLaunchDir() function. |
+ |
+ - Add a SetBuildSignatureType() function. |
+ |
+ From Zed Shaw: |
+ |
+ - Add an Append() method to Environments, to append values to |
+ construction variables. |
+ |
+ - Change the name of Update() to Replace(). Keep Update() as a |
+ deprecated synonym, at least for now. |
+ |
+ From Terrel Shumway: |
+ |
+ - Use a $PYTHON construction variable, initialized to sys.executable, |
+ when using Python to build parts of the SCons packages. |
+ |
+ - Use sys.prefix, not sys.exec_prefix, to find pdb.py. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.07 - Thu, 2 May 2002 13:37:16 -0500 |
+ |
+ From Chad Austin: |
+ |
+ - Changes to build SCons packages on IRIX (and other *NIces). |
+ |
+ - Don't create a directory Node when a file already exists there, |
+ and vice versa. |
+ |
+ - Add 'dirs' and 'names' keyword arguments to SConscript for |
+ easier specification of subsidiary SConscript files. |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - Internal cleanup of environment passing to function Actions. |
+ |
+ - Builders can now take arbitrary keyword arguments to create |
+ attributes to be passed to: command generator functions, |
+ FunctionAction functions, Builder emitter functions (below), |
+ and prefix/suffix generator functions (below). |
+ |
+ - Command generator functions can now return ANYTHING that can be |
+ converted into an Action (a function, a string, a CommandGenerator |
+ instance, even an ActionBase instance). |
+ |
+ - Actions now call get_contents() with the actual target and source |
+ nodes used for the build. |
+ |
+ - A new DictCmdGenerator class replaces CompositeBuilder to support |
+ more flexible Builder behavior internally. |
+ |
+ - Builders can now take an emitter= keyword argument. An emitter |
+ is a function that takes target, source, and env argument, then |
+ return a 2-tuple of (new sources, new targets). The emitter is |
+ called when the Builder is __call__'ed, allowing a user to modify |
+ source and target lists. |
+ |
+ - The prefix, suffix and src_suffix Builder arguments now take a |
+ callable as well a string. The callable is passed the Environment |
+ and any extra Builder keyword arguments and is expected to return |
+ the appropriate prefix or suffix. |
+ |
+ - CommandActions can now be a string, a list of command + argument |
+ strings, or a list of commands (strings or lists). |
+ |
+ - Added shared library support. The Object and Library Builders now |
+ take a "shared=1" keyword argument to specify that a shared object |
+ or shared library should be built. It is an error to try to build |
+ static objects into a shared library or vice versa. |
+ |
+ - Win32 support for .def files has been added. Added the Win32-specific |
+ construction variables $WIN32DEFPREFIX, $WIN32DEFSUFFIX, |
+ $WIN32DLLPREFIX and $WIN32IMPLIBPREFIX. When building a .dll, |
+ the new construction variable $WIN32_INSERT_DEF, controls whether |
+ the appropriately-named .def file is inserted into the target |
+ list (if not already present). A .lib file is always added to |
+ a Library build if not present in the list of targets. |
+ |
+ - ListBuilder now passes all targets to the action, not just the first. |
+ |
+ - Fix so that -c now deletes generated yacc .h files. |
+ |
+ - Builder actions and emitter functions can now be initialized, through |
+ construction variables, to things other than strings. |
+ |
+ - Make top-relative '#/dir' lookups work like '#dir'. |
+ |
+ - Fix for relative CPPPATH directories in subsidiary SConscript files |
+ (broken in 0.06). |
+ |
+ - Add a for_signature argument to command generators, so that |
+ generators that need to can return distinct values for the |
+ command signature and for executing the command. |
+ |
+ From Alex Jacques: |
+ |
+ - Create a better scons.bat file from a py2bat.py script on the Python |
+ mailing list two years ago (modeled after pl2bat.pl). |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Fix so that -c -n does *not* remove the targets! |
+ |
+ - Man page: Add a hierarchical libraries + Program example. |
+ |
+ - Support long MSVC linker command lines through a builder action |
+ that writes to a temporary file and uses the magic MSVC "link @file" |
+ argument syntax if the line is longer than 2K characters. |
+ |
+ - Fix F77 command-line options on Win32 (use /Fo instead of -o). |
+ |
+ - Use the same action to build from .c (lower case) and .C (upper |
+ case) files on case-insensitive systems like Win32. |
+ |
+ - Support building a PDF file directly from a TeX or LaTeX file |
+ using pdftex or pdflatex. |
+ |
+ - Add a -x option to runtest.py to specify the script being tested. |
+ A -X option indicates it's an executable, not a script to feed |
+ to the Python interpreter. |
+ |
+ - Add a Split() function (identical to SCons.Util.argmunge()) for use |
+ in the next release, when Builders will no longer automatically split |
+ strings on white space. |
+ |
+ From Steve Leblanc: |
+ |
+ - Add the SConscriptChdir() method. |
+ |
+ From Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Fix --debug=tree when used with directory targets. |
+ |
+ - Significant internal restructuring of Scanners and Taskmaster. |
+ |
+ - Added new --debug=dtree option. |
+ |
+ - Fixes for --profile option. |
+ |
+ - Performance improvement in construction variable substitution. |
+ |
+ - Implemented caching of content signatures, plus added --max-drift |
+ option to control caching. |
+ |
+ - Implemented caching of dependency signatures, enabled by new |
+ --implicit-cache option. |
+ |
+ - Added abspath construction variable modifier. |
+ |
+ - Added $SOURCE variable as a synonym for $SOURCES[0]. |
+ |
+ - Write out .sconsign files on error or interrupt so intermediate |
+ build results are saved. |
+ |
+ - Change the -U option to -D. Make a new -U that builds just the |
+ targets from the local SConscript file. |
+ |
+ - Fixed use of sys.path so Python modules can be imported from |
+ the SConscript directory. |
+ |
+ - Fix for using Aliases with the -u, -U and -D options. |
+ |
+ - Fix so that Nodes can be passed to SConscript files. |
+ |
+ From Moshe Zadka: |
+ |
+ - Changes for official Debian packaging. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.06 - Thu, 28 Mar 2002 01:24:29 -0600 |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - Fix command generators to expand construction variables. |
+ |
+ - Make FunctionAction arguments be Nodes, not strings. |
+ |
+ From Stephen Kennedy: |
+ |
+ - Performance: Use a dictionary, not a list, for a Node's parents. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Add .zip files to the packages we build. |
+ |
+ - Man page: document LIBS, fix a typo, document ARGUMENTS. |
+ |
+ - Added RANLIB and RANLIBFLAGS construction variables. Only use them |
+ in ARCOM if there's a "ranlib" program on the system. |
+ |
+ - Add a configurable CFILESUFFIX for the Builder of .l and .y files |
+ into C files. |
+ |
+ - Add a CXXFile Builder that turns .ll and .yy files into .cc files |
+ (configurable via a CXXFILESUFFIX construction variable). |
+ |
+ - Use the POSIX-standard lex -t flag, not the GNU-specific -o flag. |
+ (Bug reported by Russell Christensen.) |
+ |
+ - Fixed an exception when CPPPATH or LIBPATH is a null string. |
+ (Bug reported by Richard Kiss.) |
+ |
+ - Add a --profile=FILE option to make profiling SCons easier. |
+ |
+ - Modify the new DVI builder to create .dvi files from LaTeX (.ltx |
+ and .latex) files. |
+ |
+ - Add support for Aliases (phony targets). |
+ |
+ - Add a WhereIs() method for searching for path names to executables. |
+ |
+ - Add PDF and PostScript document builders. |
+ |
+ - Add support for compiling Fortran programs from a variety of |
+ suffixes (a la GNU Make): .f, .F, .for, .FOR, .fpp and .FPP |
+ |
+ - Support a CPPFLAGS variable on all default commands that use the |
+ C preprocessor. |

+RELEASE 0.05 - Thu, 21 Feb 2002 16:50:03 -0600 |
+ |
+ From Chad Austin: |
+ |
+ - Set PROGSUFFIX to .exe under Cygwin. |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - Allow a library to specified as a command-line source file, not just |
+ in the LIBS construction variable. |
+ |
+ - Compensate for a bug in os.path.normpath() that returns '' for './' |
+ on WIN32. |
+ |
+ - More performance optimizations: cache #include lines from files, |
+ eliminate unnecessary calls. |
+ |
+ - If a prefix or suffix contains white space, treat the resulting |
+ concatenation as separate arguments. |
+ |
+ - Fix irregularities in the way we fetch DevStudio information from |
+ the Windows registry, and in our registry error handling. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Flush stdout after print so it intermixes correctly with stderr |
+ when redirected. |
+ |
+ - Allow Scanners to return a list of strings, and document how to |
+ write your own Scanners. |
+ |
+ - Look up implicit (scanned) dependencies relative to the directory |
+ of file being scanned. |
+ |
+ - Make writing .sconsign files more robust by first trying to write |
+ to a temp file that gets renamed. |
+ |
+ - Create all of the directories for a list of targets before trying |
+ to build any of the targets. |
+ |
+ - WIN32 portability fixes in tests. |
+ |
+ - Allow the list of variables exported to an SConscript file to be |
+ a UserList, too. |
+ |
+ - Document the overlooked LIBPATH construction variable. |
+ (Bug reported by Eicke Godehardt.) |
+ |
+ - Fix so that Ignore() ignores indirect, implicit dependencies |
+ (included files), not just direct dependencies. |
+ |
+ - Put the man page in the Debian distribution. |
+ |
+ - Run HTML docs through tidy to clean up the HTML (for Konqueror). |
+ |
+ - Add preliminary support for Unicode strings. |
+ |
+ - Efficiency: don't scan dependencies more than once during the |
+ walk of a tree. |
+ |
+ - Fix the -c option so it doesn't stop removing targets if one doesn't |
+ already exist. |
+ (Bug reported by Paul Connell.) |
+ |
+ - Fix the --debug=pdb option when run on Windows NT. |
+ (Bug reported by Paul Connell.) |
+ |
+ - Add support for the -q option. |
+ |

+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.04 - Wed, 30 Jan 2002 11:09:42 -0600 |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - Significant performance improvements in the Node.FS and |
+ Scanner subsystems. |
+ |
+ - Fix signatures of binary files on Win32 systems. |
+ |
+ - Allow LIBS and LIBPATH to be strings, not just arrays. |
+ |
+ - Print a traceback if a Python-function builder throws an exception. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Fix using a directory as a Default(), and allow Default() to |
+ support white space in file names for strings in arrays. |
+ |
+ - Man page updates: corrected some mistakes, documented various |
+ missing Environment methods, alphabetized the construction |
+ variables and other functions, defined begin and end macros for |
+ the example sections, regularized white space separation, fixed |
+ the use of Export() in the Multiple Variants example. |
+ |
+ - Function action fixes: None is now a successful return value. |
+ Exceptions are now reported. Document function actions. |
+ |
+ - Add 'Action' and 'Scanner' to the global keywords so SConscript |
+ files can use them too. |
+ |
+ - Removed the Wrapper class between Nodes and Walkers. |
+ |
+ - Add examples using Library, LIBS, and LIBPATH. |
+ |
+ - The C Scanner now always returns a sorted list of dependencies |
+ so order changes don't cause unnecessary rebuilds. |
+ |
+ - Strip $(-$) bracketed text from command lines. Use this to |
+ surround $_INCDIRS and $_LIBDIRS so we don't rebuild in response |
+ to changes to -I or -L options. |
+ |
+ - Add the Ignore() method to ignore dependencies. |
+ |
+ - Provide an error message when a nonexistent target is specified |
+ on the command line. |
+ |
+ - Remove targets before building them, and add an Environment |
+ Precious() method to override that. |
+ |
+ - Eliminate redundant calls to the same builder when the target is a |
+ list of targets: Add a ListBuilder class that wraps Builders to |
+ handle lists atomically. Extend the Task class to support building |
+ and updating multiple targets in a single Task. Simplify the |
+ interface between Task and Taskmaster. |
+ |
+ - Add a --debug=pdb option to re-run SCons under the Python debugger. |
+ |
+ - Only compute a build signature once for each node. |
+ |
+ - Changes to our sys.path[] manipulation to support installation into |
+ an arbitrary --prefix value. |
+ |
+ From Steve Leblanc: |
+ |
+ - Add var=value command-line arguments. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.03 - Fri, 11 Jan 2002 01:09:30 -0600 |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - Performance improvements in the Node.FS and Sig.Calculator classes. |
+ |
+ - Add the InstallAs() method. |
+ |
+ - Execute commands through an external interpreter (sh, cmd.exe, or |
+ command.com) to handle redirection metacharacters. |
+ |
+ - Allow the user to supply a command handler. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Search both /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib for scons directories by |
+ adding them both to sys.path, with whichever is in sys.prefix first. |
+ |
+ - Fix interpreting strings of multiple white-space separated file names |
+ as separate file names, allowing prefixes and suffixes to be appended |
+ to each individually. |
+ |
+ - Refactor to move CompositeBuilder initialization logic from the |
+ factory wrapper to the __init__() method, and allow a Builder to |
+ have both an action and a src_builder (or array of them). |
+ |
+ - Refactor BuilderBase.__call__() to separate Node creation/lookup |
+ from initialization of the Node's builder information. |
+ |
+ - Add a CFile Builder object that supports turning lex (.l) and |
+ yacc (.y) files into .c files. |
+ |
+ - Document: variable interpretation attributes; how to propogate |
+ the user's environment variables to executed commands; how to |
+ build variants in multiple BuildDirs. |
+ |
+ - Collect String, Dict, and List type-checking in common utility |
+ routines so we can accept User{String,Dict,List}s all over. |
+ |
+ - Put the Action factory and classes into their own module. |
+ |
+ - Use one CPlusPlusAction in the Object Builder's action dictionary, |
+ instead of letting it create multiple identical instances. |
+ |
+ - Document the Install() and InstallAs() methods. |
+ |
+ From Steve Leblanc: |
+ |
+ - Require that a Builder be given a name argument, supplying a |
+ useful error message when it isn't. |
+ |
+ From Anthony Roach: |
+ |
+ - Add a "duplicate" keyword argument to BuildDir() that can be set |
+ to prevent linking/copying source files into build directories. |
+ |
+ - Add a "--debug=tree" option to print an ASCII dependency tree. |
+ |
+ - Fetch the location of the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler(s) from |
+ the Registry, instead of hard-coding the location. |
+ |
+ - Made Scanner objects take Nodes, not path names. |
+ |
+ - Have the C Scanner cache the #include file names instead of |
+ (re-)scanning the file each time it's called. |
+ |
+ - Created a separate class for parent "nodes" of file system roots, |
+ eliminating the need for separate is-parent-null checks everywhere. |
+ |
+ - Removed defined __hash__() and __cmp() methods from FS.Entry, in |
+ favor of Python's more efficient built-in identity comparisons. |
+ |
+ |
+ |
+RELEASE 0.02 - Sun, 23 Dec 2001 19:05:09 -0600 |
+ |
+ From Charles Crain: |
+ |
+ - Added the Install(), BuildDir(), and Export() methods. |
+ |
+ - Fix the -C option by delaying setting the top of the FS tree. |
+ |
+ - Avoid putting the directory path on the libraries in the LIBS |
+ construction variable. |
+ |
+ - Added a GetBuildPath() method to return the full path to the |
+ Node for a specified string. |
+ |
+ - Fixed variable substitution in CPPPATH and LIBPATH. |
+ |
+ From Steven Knight: |
+ |
+ - Fixed the version comment in the scons.bat (the UNIX geek used |
+ # instead of @rem). |
+ |
+ - Fix to setup.py so it doesn't require a sys.argv[1] argument. |
+ |
+ - Provide make-like warning message for "command not found" and |
+ similar errors. |
+ |
+ - Added an EXAMPLES section to the man page. |
+ |
+ - Make Default() targets properly relative to their SConscript |
+ file's subdirectory. |
+ |

+ |
+ - Documented CXXFLAGS, CXXCOM, and CPPPATH. |
+ |
+ - Fixed SCONS_LIB_DIR to work as documented. |
+ |
+ - Made Default() accept Nodes as arguments. |
+ |
+ - Changed Export() to make it easier to use. |
+ |
+ - Added the Import() and Return() methods. |
