+    --  F95 AND F90 COMPILERS ARE NOW PREFERRED OVER F77
+
+        SCons now searches for Fortran 95 and Fortran 90 compilers first
+        in preference to Fortran 77.  This may result in a different
+        Fortran compiler being used by default, although as Fortran 95 and
+        Fortran 90 are backwards compatible with Fortran 77, this should
+        not cause problems for standards-compliant Fortran programs.
+        On systems that have multiple versions of Fortran installed,
+        the Fortran 77 compiler may be explicitly selected by specifying
+        it when creating the construction environment:
+
+            env = Environment(tools = ['default', 'f77'])
