+
+  From Bob Halley:
+
+  - Fix C/C++ compiler selection on AIX to not always use the external $CC

+
+  From Steven Knight:
+
+  - Check for whether files exist on disk by listing the directory
+    contents, not calling os.path.exists() file by file.  This is
+    somewhat more efficient in general, and may be significantly
+    more efficient on Windows.
+
+  - Minor speedups in the internal is_Dict(), is_List() and is_String()
+    functions.
+
+  - Fix a signature refactoring bug that caused Qt header files to
+    get re-generated every time.
+
+  - Don't fail when writing signatures if the .sconsign.dblite file is
+    owned by a different user (e.g. root) from a previous run.
+
+  - When deleting variables from stacked OverrideEnvironments, don't
+    throw a KeyError if we were able to delte the variable from any
+    Environment in the stack.
+
+  - Get rid of the last indentation tabs in the SCons source files and
+    add -tt to the Python invocations in the packaging build and the
+    tests so they don't creep back in.
+
+  - In Visual Studio project files, put quotes around the -C directory
+    so everything works even if the path has spaces in it.
+
+  - The Intel Fortran compiler uses -object:$TARGET, not "-o $TARGET",
+    when building object files on Windows.  Have the the ifort Tool
+    modify the default command lines appropriately.
+
+  - Document the --debug=explain option in the man page.  (How did we
+    miss this?)
+
+  - Add a $LATEXRETRIES variable to allow configuration of the number of

+
+  - Fix a man page example of overriding variables when calling
+    SharedLibrary() to also set the $LIBSUFFIXES variable.
+
+  - Add a --taskmastertrace=FILE option to give some insight on how

+  - Correct TeX-related command lines to just $SOURCE, not $SOURCES
+
+  From Patrick Mezard:
+
+  - Execute build commands for a command-line target if any of the
+    files built along with the target is out of date or non-existent,
+    not just if the command-line target itself is out of date.
+
+  - Fix the -n option when used with -c to print all of the targets
+    that will be removed for a multi-target Builder call.
+
+  - If there's no file in the source directory, make sure there isn't
+    one in the build directory, too, to avoid dangling files left
+    over from previous runs when a source file is removed.
+
+  - Allow AppendUnique() and PrependUnique() to append strings (and
+    other atomic objects) to lists.
+
+  From Joel B. Mohler:
+
+  - Extend latex.py, pdflatex.py, pdftex.py and tex.py so that building
+    from both TeX and LaTeX files uses the same logic to call $BIBTEX
+    when it's necessary, to call $MAKEINDEX when it's necessary, and to
+    call $TEX or $LATEX multiple times to handle undefined references.
+
+  - Add an emitter to the various TeX builders so that the generated
+    .aux and .log files also get deleted by the -c option.
+
+  From Leanid Nazdrynau:

+
+  - Add support for an Options.FormatOptionHelpText() method that can

+

+    documented).
+
+  - Fix re-scanning of generated source files for implicit dependencies
+    when the -j option is used.
+
+  - Fix a dependency problem that caused $LIBS scans to not be added
+    to all of the targets in a multiple-target builder call, which
+    could cause out-of-order builds when the -j option is used.
+
+  - Store the paths of source files and dependencies in the .sconsign*
+    file(s) relative to the target's directory, not relative to the
+    top-level SConstruct directory.  This starts to make it possible to
+    subdivide the dependency tree arbitrarily by putting an SConstruct
+    file in every directory and using content signatures.
+
+  - Add support for $YACCHFILESUFFIX and $YACCHXXFILESUFFIX variables
+    that accomodate parser generators that write header files to a
+    different suffix than the hard-coded .hpp when the -d option is used.
+
+  - The default behavior is now to store signature information in a
+    single .sconsign.dblite file in the top-level SConstruct directory.
+    The old behavior of a separate .sconsign file in each directory can
+    be specified by calling SConsignFile(None).
+
+  - Remove line number byte codes within the signature calculation
+    of Python function actions, so that changing the location of an
+    otherwise unmodified Python function doesn't cause rebuilds.
+
+  - Fix AddPreAction() and AddPostAction() when an action has more than
+    one target file:  attach the actions to the Executor, not the Node.
+
+  - Allow the source directory of a BuildDir / build_dir to be outside
+    of the top-level SConstruct directory tree.
+
+  - Add a --debug=nomemoizer option that disables the Memoizer for clearer
+    looks at the counts and profiles of the underlying function calls,
+    not the Memoizer wrappers.
+
+  - Print various --debug= stats even if we exit early (e.g. using -h).
+
+  - Really only use the cached content signature value if the file
+    is older than --max-drift, not just if --max-drift is set.
+
+  - Remove support for conversion from old (pre 0.96) .sconsign formats.
+
+  - Add support for a --diskcheck option to enable or disable various
+    on-disk checks:  that File and Dir nodes match on-disk entries;
+    whether an RCS file exists for a missing source file; whether an
+    SCCS file exists for a missing source file.
+
+  - Add a --raw argument to the sconsign script, so it can print a
+    raw representation of each entry's NodeInfo dictionary.
+
+  - Add the 'f90' and 'f95' tools to the list of Fortran compilers
+    searched for by default.
+

+
+  - Have the Visual Studio project file(s) echo "Starting SCons" before
+    executing SCons, mainly to work around a quote-stripping bug in
+    (some versions of?) the Windows cmd command executor.
+
+  From Georg Mischler:
+
+  - Remove the space after the -o option when invoking the Borland
+    BCC compiler; some versions apparently require that the file name
+    argument be concatenated with the option.
+
+  From Leanid Nazdrynau:
+
+  - Fix the Java parser's handling of backslashes in strings.
+
+  From Greg Noel:
+
+  - Add construction variables to support frameworks on Mac OS X:
+    $FRAMEWORKS, $FRAMEWORKPREFIX, $FRAMEWORKPATH, $FRAMEWORKPATHPREFIX.
+
+  - Re-order link lines so the -o option always comes right after the
+    command name.
+
+  From Gary Oberbrunner:
+
+  - Add support for Intel C++ beta 9.0 (both 32 and 64 bit versions).
+

+  From Karol Pietrzak:
+
+  - Add $RPATH (-R) support to the Sun linker Tool (sunlink).

+
+  - Look in the right directory, not always the local directory, for a
+    same-named file or directory conflict on disk.
+
+  - On Windows, preserve the external environment's %SYSTEMDRIVE%
+    variable, too.
+
+  From Craig Scott:
+
+  - Have the Fortran module emitter look for Fortan modules to be created
+    relative to $FORTRANMODDIR, not the top-level directory.
+
+  - When saving Options to a file, run default values through the
+    converter before comparing them with the set values.  This correctly
+    suppresses Boolean Option values from getting written to the saved
+    file when they're one of the many synonyms for a default True or
+    False value.
+
+  - Fix the Fortran Scanner's ability to handle a module being used
+    in the same file in which it is defined.
+
+  From Steve-o:
+
+  - Add the -KPIC option by default when compiling shared objects on
+    Solaris.
+
+  - Change the default suffix for Solaris objects to .o, to conform to
+    Sun WorkShop's expectations.  Change the profix to so_ so they can
+    still be differentiated from static objects in the same directory.
+
+  From Amir Szekely:
+
+  - When calling the resource compiler on MinGW, add --include-dir and

-    --  DIRECTORY TREES ARE NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY SCANNED FOR CHANGES
+    --  /opt/bin AND /sw/bin ADDED TO DEFAULT EXECUTION PATH VARIABLES
 
-        Custom builders and Command() calls that accept directories as
-        source arguments no longer scan entire on-disk directory trees by
-        default.  This means that their targets will not be automatically
-        rebuilt if a file changes on disk *unless* SCons already knows
-        about the file from a specific Builder or File() call.  Note that
-        the targets will still be rebuilt correctly if a file changes
-        that SCons already knows about due to a Builder or other call.
+        On all POSIX systems, the default execution PATH variable has had
+        the /opt/bin directory added after the /usr/local/bin directory
+        and before /bin and /usr/bin directories.  This may cause SCons
+        to find and/or different compilers, linkers, etc. if you have
+        any same-named utilities installed in /opt/bin that it previously
+        found in /bin or /usr/bin.
 
-        The existing behavior of scanning on-disk directory trees for
-        any changed file can be maintained by passing the new DirScanner
-        global directory scanner as the source_scanner keyword argument
-        to the Builder call:
+        On Mac OS X (Darwin) systems, the /sw/bin directory has been added
+        to the end of the default execution PATH.  This may cause SCons
+        to find compilers, linkers and other utilities it previously did
+        not, although it should not otherwise change existing behavior.

-                          source_scanner = DirScanner)
+    --  Configure.Checklib() ARGUMENTS HAVE CHANGED TO MATCH DOCUMENTATION
 
-        The same keyword argument can also be supplied to any Command()
-        calls that need to scan directory trees on-disk for changed files:
+        The order of the arguments to the Configure.CheckLib() function
+        has changed to put the "autoadd" keyword argument last, matching
+        the documentation in the man page.  This could cause problems
+        for any calls to Configure.Checklib() that were relying on the
+        order of the arguments.  Specifying all arguments as keyword
+        arguments will work on both older and newer versions of SCons.

-                        source_scanner = DirScanner)
+    --  env.subst() NO LONGER EXPANDS $TARGET, $SOURCES, etc. BY DEFAULT
 
-        This change was made because scanning directories by default
-        could cause huge slowdowns if a configurable directory like /usr
-        or /usr/local was passed as the source to a Builder or Command()
-        call, in which case SCons would scan the entire directory tree.
+        Calls to the env.subst() method to interpolate construction
+        variables in strings no longer automatically expand the special
+        variables $TARGET, $TARGETS, $SOURCE and $SOURCES.  The keyword
+        variables "target" and "source" must now be set to the lists
+        of target and source files to be used in expansion of those
+        variables, when desired.
+
+        This is most likely necessary for any env.subst() calls within
+        a Python function being used as an SCons action for a Builder:
+
+            def build_it(env, target, source):
+                env.subst('$STRING', target=targets, source=sources)
+            MyBuilder = Builder(action=build_it)
+
+        The "target" and "source" keyword arguments are backwards
+        compatible and can be added to SConscript files without breaking
+        builds on systems using older SCons releases.
+
+    --  INTERNAL FUNCTIONS AND CLASSES HAVE MOVED FROM SCons.Util
+
+        All internal functions and classes related to string substitution
+        have been moved out of the SCons.Util module into their own
+        SCons.Subst module.  The following classes have been moved:
+
+                Literal
+                SpecialAttrWrapper
+                NLWrapper
+                Targets_or_Sources
+                Target_or_Source
+
+        And the following functions have moved:
+
+                quote_spaces()
+                escape_list()
+                subst_dict()

+                scons_subst_list()
+                scons_subst_once()
+
+        If your SConscript files have been using any of these function
+        directly from the SCons.Util module (which they ultimately should
+        not be!), you will need to modify them.
