changed. This change *only* affects any cases where you explicitly
use UserList objects to initialize or append to a variable.
- Please note the following important changes since release 0.94:
-
- - The internal Python function used by the Zip Builder in Python
- releases 1.6 or later now compresses the resulting .zip file
- by default. The old behavior of creating an uncompressed file
- may be preserved by setting the new ZIPCOMPRESSION construction
- variable to 0 (or zipfile.ZIP_STORED, if you import the
- underlying zipfile module).
-
- - The "overrides" keyword argument to calls to the Builder() function
- used to create new Builder objects has been deprecated and will
- be removed in a future release. The items in an "overrides"
- dictionary should now be specified as keyword arguments:
-
- # Old way, "overrides" is a dictionary:
- Builder(action = 'cp $TDIR/$TARGET $SDIR/$SOURCE',
- overrides = {'TDIR' : dir1, 'SDIR' : dir2})
-
- # New way, items are specified as keyword arguments:
- Builder(action = 'cp $TDIR/$TARGET $SDIR/$SOURCE',
- TDIR = dir1, SDIR = dir2)
-
- - The meaning of some of the values of the "mode" argument to
- the SCons.Util.scons_subst() and SCons.Util.scons_subst_list()
- functions have been swapped. The wrapper Environment.subst() and
- Environment.subst_list() methods remain completely unchanged, so
- this should have no external effect. (We've listed the change here
- because it might cause a problem if you're reaching into the SCons
- internals and calling either of these SCons.Util functions directly.)
