This is the eighth beta release of SCons. Please consult the
CHANGES.txt file for a list of specific changes since last release.
Please note the following important changes since release 0.97:
+ -- env.CacheDir() NOW ONLY AFFECTS CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENT TARGETS
+
+ The env.CacheDir() method now only causes derived files to be
+ retrieved from the specified cache directory for targets built
+ with the specified specified construction environment ("env").
+
+ Previously, any call to env.CacheDir() or CacheDir() would modify
+ a global setting and cause all built targets to be retrieved
+ from the specified cache directory. This behavior was changed so
+ that env.CacheDir() would be consistent with other construction
+ environment methods, which only affect targets built with the
+ specified construction environment.
+
+ The old behavior of changing the global behavior may be preserved
+ by changing any env.CacheDir() calls to:
+
+ CacheDir('/path/to/cache/directory')
+
+ The above change is backwards-compatible and works in all earlier
+ versions of SCons that support CacheDir().
+
+ -- INTERPRETATION OF SUFFIX-LESS SOURCE ARGUMENTS HAS CHANGED
+
+ The interpretation of source arguments (files) without suffixes
+ has changed in one specific configuration.
+
+ Previously, if a Builder had a src_suffix specified (indicating
+ that source files without suffixes should have that suffix
+ appended), the suffix would only be applied to suffix-less source
+ arguments if the Builder did *not* have one or more attached
+ source Builders (that is, the Builder was not a "multi-stage"
+ Builder). So in the following configuration:
+
+ build_foo = Builder(src_suffix = '.foo')
+ build_bar = Builder(src_suffix = '.bar',
+ src_builder = build_bar)
+
+ env = Environment(BUILDERS = {
+ 'Foo' : build_foo,
+ 'Boo' : build_bar,
+ })
+
+ env.Foo('tgt1', 'src1')
+ env.Bar('tgt2', 'src2')
+
+ SCons would have expected to find a source file 'src1.foo' for the
+ env.Foo() call, but a source file 'src2' for the env.Bar() call.
+
+ This behavior has now been made consistent, so that the two
+ above calls would expect source files named 'src1.foo' and
+ 'src2.bar', respectively.
+
+ Note that, if genuinely desired, the old behavior of building
+ from a source file without a suffix at all (when the Builder has
+ a src_suffix *and* a src_builder) can be specified explicity by
+ turning the string into a File Node directly:
+
+ env.Bar('tgt2', File('src2'))
+
+ The above use of File() is backwards-compatible and will work
+ on earlier versions of SCons.
+
-- THE DEFAULT EXECUTION PATH FOR Solaris HAS CHANGED
On Solaris systems, SCons now adds the "/opt/SUNWspro/bin"
