- A new SCons checkpoint release, 3.0.1, is now available
- on the SCons download page:
+ A new SCons release, 3.0.2, is now available on the SCons download page:
- http://www.scons.org/download.php
+ https://scons.org/pages/download.html
- XXX The primary purpose of this release ... XXX
- A SCons "checkpoint release" is intended to provide early access to
- new features so they can be tested in the field before being released
- for adoption by other software distributions.
-
- Note that a checkpoint release is developed using the same test-driven
- development methodology as all SCons releases. Existing SCons
- functionality should all work as it does in previous releases (except
- for any changes identified in the release notes) and early adopters
- should be able to use a checkpoint release safely for production work
- with existing SConscript files. If not, it represents not only a bug
- in SCons but also a hole in the regression test suite, and we want to
- hear about it.
-
- New features may be more lightly tested than in past releases,
- especially as concerns their interaction with all of the other
- functionality in SCons. We are especially interested in hearing bug
- reports about new functionality.
-
- We do not recommend that downstream distributions (Debian, Fedora,
- etc.) package a checkpoint release, mainly to avoid confusing the
- "public" release numbering with the long checkpoint release names.
-
- Here is a summary of the changes since 1.3.0:
+ Here is a summary of the changes since 3.0.1:
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- - List new features (presumably why a checkpoint is being released)
+ - Properly support versioned shared libraries for MacOS. We've also introduced two
+ new env variables APPLELINK_CURRENT_VERSION and APPLELINK_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION which will specify
+ what is passed to the linkers -current_version and -compatibility_version flags. If not specified
+ they will be derived from SHLIBVERSION as such:
+ - APPLELINK_CURRENT_VERSION = SHLIBVERSION
+ - APPLELINK_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION = all but the last digit in SHLIBVERSION with .0 appended.
+ Note that the values of the above will be validated. Valid format for either APPLELINK variable is
+ X[.Y[.Z]] where 0 <= X <= 65535, 0 <= Y <= 255, 0 <= Z <= 255.
+ - Add flag must_exist to SConscript() call to fail on missing script.
+ Not failing on missing script is now considered deprecated, and the first instance will print a
+ deprecation message.
+ - Add xz compression format to packaging choices.
+ - Add Textfile/Substfile to default environment. (issue #3147)
+ - Added virtualenv support. A new function Virtualenv() determines whether
+ SCons runs in a virtualenv. The search PATH may also be extended to
+ prefer executables from the current virtualenv over the ones provided by
+ base environment. New option --enable-virtualenv provided to import some
+ virtualenv-related variables to SCons and extend every env['ENV']['PATH']
+ automatically. New option --ignore-virtualenv disables this. Two
+ environment variables, SCONS_ENABLE_VIRTUALENV and
+ SCONS_IGNORE_VIRTUALENV are supported for the same purpose.
DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
- - List anything that's been deprecated since the last release
+ - Going forward calling SConscript on a non-existing SConscript file will issue a warning. Currently
+ it will issue a deprecation notice.
CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
- - List modifications to existing features, where the previous behavior
- wouldn't actually be considered a bug
+ - Recognize new java 9, 10, 11 (as 9.0 and 10.0, 11.0)
FIXES
- - List fixes of outright bugs
-
- IMPROVEMENTS
-
- - List improvements that wouldn't be visible to the user in the
- documentation: performance improvements (describe the circumstances
- under which they would be observed), or major code cleanups
+ - Fix issue #2980 with credit to Piotr Bartosik (and William Blevins). This is an issue where using
+ TimeStamp-MD5 Decider and CacheDir can yield incorrect md5's being written into the .sconsign.
+ The difference between Piotr Bartosik's patch and the current code is that the more complicated
+ creation of file to csig map is only done when the count of children for the current node doesn't
+ match the previous count which is loaded from the sconsign.
