   This is the eighth alpha release of SCons.  Please consult the
   CHANGES.txt file for a list of specific changes since last release.

     - The prefix, suffix, and src_suffix keyword arguments to the
       Builder() function may no longer be callable functions.
 
-  Please note the following important changes since release 0.06:
-
-    - The functionality of the -U option has changed.  It now works
-      exactly like the -u option (searches up the directory tree for an
-      SConstruct file) but, when no targets are specified on the command
-      line, it will build all targets that are defined in any SConscript
-      files in the current directory.
-
-      The previous functionality of this option is now available in the
-      -D option:  when no targets are specified on the command line,
-      SCons will build *all* Default() targets, not just those at or
-      below the current directory,
-
-    - The default Fortran compilation command on Windows systems now
-      uses Windows conventions (/Fo) instead of UNIX conventions (-o).
-
-    - The $SOURCE construction variable is now a synonym for
-      ${SOURCES[0]}.  This will affect you if you previously set $SOURCE
-      explicitly in a construction environment.
-
-    - Scanner functions now take three or four arguments.  The target
-      Node is now passed in as the third argument; the fourth argument
-      is an optional SCons.Node.FS.FS object.  You will need to update
-      the interfaces of any local Scanner functions you have defined.
-
-    - Command generator functions now take a fourth argument,
-      for_signature.  You will need to add this argument to any
-      generator functions you have defined.
-
   Owing to an extensive test suite, the SCons team believes that this
   release is of sufficient quality that you can use it for real work,
   despite the "alpha" label.

       grain of salt.
 
-    - SCons does not yet support file names with quotes (" or ') in the
-      file name when an external command is used to create or process a
-      file.  Results will be unpredictable based on the interaction with
-      the shell used to execute the external command.
-
     - If a file is specified to be built in multiple ways, the last
       processed builder specification overwrites all other builders,
       without any warning.
