XXX - Here is a summary of the changes since 2.3.2: + 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 - - Added Copy Action symlink soft-copy support (#2395). + - 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 - - Improved SWIG detection + - List modifications to existing features, where the previous behavior + wouldn't actually be considered a bug FIXES - - Fix regression on Windows in D language update - - Fixed the newglossary action to work with VariantDir (LaTeX). - - Added a default for the BUILDERS environment variable, - to prevent not defined exception on a Clone(). - - Fixed handling of CPPDEFINE var in Append() - for several list-dict combinations (#2900). + - List fixes of outright bugs + + IMPROVEMENTS + + - 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 - - No changes + - List changes in the way SCons is packaged and/or released + + DOCUMENTATION + + - 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 - - Do not fail on EnsureSConsVersion when running from checkout - -Thanks to: - Dirk Baechle, - Vincent Beffar, - Thomas Berg, - William Blevins, - Kendrick Boyd, - Antonio Cavallo, - Jean-François Colson, - Bauke Conijn, - Bill Deegan, - Ken Deeter, - dubcanada on Bitbucket, - Luca Falavigna, - Andrew Featherstone, - Alexandre Feblot, - Shane Gannon, - Alexander Goomenyuk, - Justin Gullingsrud, - Michael Haubenwallner, - Joshua Hughes, - Alexey Klimkin, - Steven Knight, - Arve Knudsen, - Philipp Kraus, - Jean-Baptiste Lab, - Juan Lang, - Rob Managan, - Michael McDougall, - Mortoray, - Manuel Francisco Naranjo, - Gary Oberbrunner, - Alexey Petruchik, - Evgeny Podjachev, - David Rothenberger, - smallbub on Bitbucket, - Sohail Somani, - Stefan Sperling, - Amir Szekely, - Tom Tanner, - Anatoly Techtonik, - Bogdan Tenea, - Paweł Tomulik, - Sye van der Veen, - veon on bitbucket, - Greg Ward, - Allen Weeks, - Russel Winder, - Joe Zuntz - for their contributions to this and prior releases. + - List visible changes in the way SCons is developed + + Thanks to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE for their contributions to this release. + Contributors are listed alphabetically by their last name. __COPYRIGHT__ __FILE__ __REVISION__ __DATE__ __DEVELOPER__ |
