-  Please note the following important changes since release 0.05:
-
-    - Python functions as Builder actions now take Node objects, not
-      strings, as arguments.  The string representation of a Node
-      object is the file name, so you should change your function
-      actions to use the str() built-in function to fetch the file
-      name:
-
-        def build_it(target = None, source = None, env = None):
-            print "Building %s from %s" % (str(target), str(source))
-	    open(str(target), 'w').write(open(str(source), 'r').read())
-            return 0

   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.
