This changeset increments the trunk to the next minor level, 2.1.0, and

updates the dates and other information in the files to have the right
base values.

With this changeset, 2.0.0 is history and a new era has begun.  It's
time to celebrate; anybody want a beer?

-  A new SCons checkpoint release, 2.0.0.beta.20100605, is now available
+  A new SCons checkpoint release, 2.1.0.alpha.yyyymmdd, is now available
   on the SCons download page:
 
           http://www.scons.org/download.php
 
-  The primary purpose of this release is to remove support for Python
-  versions prior to 2.4 and streamline the SCons code base using more
-  modern python idioms.
-
-  IMPORTANT:  In 1.3.0 and 2.0.0, explicit dependencies (configured via
-  the Depends() call) are ignored for any nodes that do not have builders.
-  This known issue[1] will typically only happen if you explicitly
-  configure a builder call to create multiple output files, some of which
-  are "hidden" from SCons by not being listed in the targets list, and then
-  use Depends() to establish an explicit dependency on a "hidden" file.

-  Here is a summary of the changes since 1.3:
+  Here is a summary of the changes since 1.3.0:
 
   NEW FUNCTIONALITY
 
-  - There should be no new functionality or bug fixes in this checkpoint.
-    Bug fixes will be found in the 1.3.1 series of checkpoints.
+    - List new features (presumably why a checkpoint is being released)
 
   DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
 
-  - All features or usages deprecated in 1.3 should have been removed.
-    Uses of formerly-deprecated features should get an error.
-
-  - The BuildDir() method and the build_dir option now get warnings.
-
-  - The SourceCode() function and its associated factory functions have
-    started their deprecation cycle and can have a warning enabled.
+    - List anything that's been deprecated since the last release
 
   CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
 
-  - Any Command() or env.Command() calls that use the following Action
-    factory functions will have their targets rebuilt when upgrading
-    from any pre-2.0 release:
-
-        Chmod()
-        Copy()
-        Delete()
-        Mkdir()
-        Move()
-        Touch()
-
-    (The rebuild occurs because the underlying Python class that
-    implements these functions has been changed to a new-style Python
-    class, and that changes the Python byte code and therefore the
-    build signature of the functions.)
+    - List modifications to existing features, where the previous behavior
+      wouldn't actually be considered a bug
 
   FIXES
 
-  - MSVC/MSVS/SDK support has been improved. A number of issues with
-    determining the correct version and architecture have been resolved.
+    - List fixes of outright bugs
 
   IMPROVEMENTS
 
-  - Support for Python versions prior to 2.4 has been removed.  As of
-    this writing, we believe that SCons will still work with Python 2.3,
-    but this is not guaranteed.
-  - Code paths that included special cases for older Python versions have
-    been streamlined.
-  - The code base has been converted to use more modern idioms.  Although
-    we don't have any direct measurements (yet), we believe that SCons
-    startup time should be decreased and the overall code should run faster.
+    - 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
 
   PACKAGING
 
-  - No changes.
+    - List changes in the way SCons is packaged and/or released
 
   DOCUMENTATION
 
-  - The entries for SourceCode() and its associated factory functions now
-    state that the functions are deprecated.
+    - List any significant changes to the documentation (not individual
+      typo fixes, even if they're mentioned in src/CHANGES.txt to give
+      the contributor credit)
 
   DEVELOPMENT
 
-  - Code no longer has to be compatible with Python versions back to 1.5.2.
-    Although code is tested with Python 2.3 and is still believed to work,
-    the official new floor is Python 2.4.
+    - List visible changes in the way SCons is developed
