- A new SCons release, 2.4.0, is now available
+ A new SCons checkpoint release, 2.3.13.alpha.yyyymmdd, is now available
on the SCons download page:
http://www.scons.org/download.php
- Here is a summary of the changes since 2.3.6:
+ XXX The primary purpose of this release ... XXX
+
+ A SCons "checkpoint release" is intended to provide early access to
+ new features so they can be tested in the field before being released
+ for adoption by other software distributions.
+
+ Note that a checkpoint release is developed using the same test-driven
+ development methodology as all SCons releases. Existing SCons
+ functionality should all work as it does in previous releases (except
+ for any changes identified in the release notes) and early adopters
+ should be able to use a checkpoint release safely for production work
+ with existing SConscript files. If not, it represents not only a bug
+ in SCons but also a hole in the regression test suite, and we want to
+ hear about it.
+
+ New features may be more lightly tested than in past releases,
+ especially as concerns their interaction with all of the other
+ functionality in SCons. We are especially interested in hearing bug
+ reports about new functionality.
+
+ We do not recommend that downstream distributions (Debian, Fedora,
+ etc.) package a checkpoint release, mainly to avoid confusing the
+ "public" release numbering with the long checkpoint release names.
+
+ Here is a summary of the changes since 1.3.0:
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- - None
+ - List new features (presumably why a checkpoint is being released)
DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
- - None
+ - List anything that's been deprecated since the last release
CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
- - None
+ - List modifications to existing features, where the previous behavior
+ wouldn't actually be considered a bug
FIXES
- - None
+ - List fixes of outright bugs
IMPROVEMENTS
- - Switched several core classes to use "slots", to
- reduce the overall memory consumption in large
- projects (fixes #2180, #2178, #2198)
- - Memoizer counting uses decorators now, instead of
- the old metaclasses approach.
+ - 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
- - Added new amd64 windows 64 bit installer
+ - List changes in the way SCons is packaged and/or released
DOCUMENTATION
- - None
+ - 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
- - None
+ - List visible changes in the way SCons is developed
- Thanks to Dirk Baechle, Andrew Featherstone for their contributions to this release.
+ Thanks to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE for their contributions to this release.
