-RELEASE 0.97 - XXX
+RELEASE 0.XX - XXX
+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Fix the wix Tool module to handle null entries in $PATH variables.
+
+ - Move the documentation of Install() and InstallAs() from the list
+ of functions to the list of Builders (now that they're implemented
+ as such).
+
+ - Allow env.CacheDir() to be set per construction environment. The
+ global CacheDir() function now sets an overridable global default.
+
+
+
+RELEASE 0.97.0d20070809 - Fri, 10 Aug 2007 10:51:27 -0500
+
+ From Lars Albertsson:
+
+ - Don't error if a #include line happens to match a directory
+ somewhere on a path (like $CPPPATH, $FORTRANPATH, etc.).
+
+ From Mark Bertoglio:
+
+ - Fix listing multiple projects in Visual Studio 7.[01] solution files,
+ including generating individual project GUIDs instead of re-using
+ the solution GUID.
+
+ From Jean Brouwers:
+
+ - Add /opt/SUNWspro/bin to the default execution PATH on Solaris.
+
+ From Allan Erskine:
+
+ - Only expect the Microsoft IDL compiler to emit *_p.c and *_data.c
+ files if the /proxy and /dlldata switches are used (respectively).
+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Have --debug=explain report if a target is being rebuilt because
+ AlwaysBuild() is specified (instead of "unknown reasons").
+
+ - Support {Get,Set}Option('help') to make it easier for SConscript
+ files to tell if a help option (-h, --help, etc.) has been specified.
+
+ - Support {Get,Set}Option('random') so random-dependency interaction
+ with CacheDir() is controllable from SConscript files.
+
+ - Add a new AddOption() function to support user-defined command-
+ line flags (like --prefix=, --force, etc.).
+
+ - Push and retrieve built symlinks to/from a CacheDir() as actual
+ symlinks, not by copying the file contents.
+
+ - Fix how the Action module handles stringifying the shared library
+ generator in the Tool/mingw.py module.
+
+ - When generating a config.h file, print "#define HAVE_{FEATURE} 1"
+ instad of just "#define HAVE_{FEATURE}", for more compatibility
+ with Autoconf-style projects.
+
+ - Fix expansion of $TARGET, $TARGETS, $SOURCE and $SOURCES keywords in
+ Visual C/C++ PDB file names.
+
+ - Fix locating Visual C/C++ PDB files in build directories.
+
+ - Support an env.AddMethod() method and an AddMethod() global function
+ for adding a new method, respectively, to a construction environment
+ or an arbitrary object (such as a class).
+
+ - Fix the --debug=time option when the -j option is specified and all
+ files are up to date.
+
+ - Add a $SWIGOUTDIR variable to allow setting the swig -outdir option,
+ and use it to identify files created by the swig -java option.
+
+ - Add a $SWIGPATH variable that specifies the path to be searched
+ for included SWIG files, Also add related $SWIGINCPREFIX and
+ $SWIGINCSUFFIX variables that specify the prefix and suffix to
+ be be added to each $SWIGPATH directory when expanded on the SWIG
+ command line.
+
+ - More efficient copying of construction environments (mostly borrowed
+ from copy.deepcopy() in the standard Python library).
+
+ - When printing --tree=prune output, don't print [brackets] around
+ source files, only do so for built targets with children.
+
+ - Fix interpretation of Builder source arguments when the Builder has
+ a src_suffix *and* a source_builder and the argument has no suffix.
+
+ - Fix use of expansions like ${TARGET.dir} or ${SOURCE.dir} in the
+ following construction variables: $FORTRANMODDIR, $JARCHDIR,
+ $JARFLAGS, $LEXFLAGS, $SWIGFLAGS, $SWIGOUTDIR and $YACCFLAGS.
+
+ - Fix dependencies on Java files generated by SWIG so they can be
+ detected and built in one pass.
+
+ - Fix SWIG when used with a BuildDir().
+
+ From Leanid Nazdrynau:
+
+ - When applying Tool modules after a construction environment has
+ already been created, don't overwrite existing $CFILESUFFIX and
+ $CXXFILESUFFIX value.
+
+ - Support passing the Java() builder a list of explicit .java files
+ (not only a list of directories to be scanned for .java files).
+
+ - Support passing .java files to the Jar() and JavaH() builders, which
+ then use the builder underlying the Java() builder to turn them into
+ .class files. (That is, the Jar()-Java() chain of builders become
+ multi-step, like the Program()-Object()-CFile() builders.)
+
+ - Support passing SWIG .i files to the Java builders (Java(),
+ Jar(), JavaH()), to cause intermediate .java files to be created
+ automatically.
+
+ - Add $JAVACLASSPATH and $JAVASOURCEPATH variables, that get added to
+ the javac "-classpath" and "-sourcepath" options. (Note that SCons
+ does *not* currently search these paths for implicit dependencies.)
+
+ - Commonize initialization of Java-related builders.
+
+ From Jan Nijtmans:
+
+ - Find Java anonymous classes when the next token after the name is
+ an open parenthesis.
+
+ From Gary Oberbrunner:
+
+ - Fix a code example in the man page.
+
+ From Tilo Prutz:
+
+ - Add support for the file names that Java 1.5 (and 1.6) generates for
+ nested anonymous inner classes, which are different from Java 1.4.
+
+ From Adam Simpkins:
+
+ - Allow worker threads to terminate gracefully when all jobs are
+ finished.
+
+ From Sohail Somani:
+
+ - Add LaTeX scanner support for finding dependencies specified with
+ the \usepackage{} directive.
+
+

+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Fix a bug that would make parallel builds stop in their tracks if
+ Nodes that depended on lists that contained some Nodes built together
+ caused the reference count to drop below 0 if the Nodes were visited
+ and commands finished in the wrong order.
+
+ - Make sure the DirEntryScanner doesn't choke if it's handed something
+ that's not a directory (Node.FS.Dir) Node.
+

+
+ - Don't treat Java ".class" attributes as defining an inner class.
+
+ - Fix detecting an erroneous Java anonymous class when the first
+ non-skipped token after a "new" keyword is a closing brace.
+
+ - Fix a regression when a CPPDEFINES list contains a tuple, the second
+ item of which (the option value) is a construction variable expansion
+ (e.g. $VALUE) and the value of the variable isn't a string.
+
+ - Improve the error message if an IOError (like trying to read a
+ directory as a file) occurs while deciding if a node is up-to-date.
+
+ - Fix "maximum recursion" / "unhashable type" errors in $CPPPATH
+ PathList expansion if a subsidiary expansion yields a stringable,
+ non-Node object.
+
+ - Generate API documentation from the docstrings (using epydoc).
+
+ - Fix use of --debug=presub with Actions for out-of-the-box Builders.
+
+ - Fix handling nested lists within $CPPPATH, $LIBPATH, etc.
+
+ - Fix a "builders_used" AttributeError that real-world Qt initialization
+ triggered in the refactored suffix handling for Builders.
+
+ - Make the reported --debug=time timings meaningful when used with -j.
+ Better documentation of what the times mean.
+
+ - User Guide updates: --random, AlwaysBuild(), --tree=,
+ --debug=findlibs, --debug=presub, --debug=stacktrace,
+ --taskmastertrace.
+
+ - Document (in both man page and User's Guide) that --implicit-cache
+ ignores changes in $CPPPATH, $LIBPATH, etc.
+
+ From Jean-Baptiste Lab:
+
+ - Remove hard-coded dependency on Python 2.2 from Debian packaging files.
+
+ From Jeff Mahovsky:
+
+ - Handle spaces in the build target name in Visual Studio project files.
+
+ From Rob Managan:
+
+ - Re-run LaTeX after BibTeX has been re-run in response to a changed
+ .bib file.
+
+ From Joel B. Mohler:
+
+ - Make additional TeX auxiliary files (.toc, .idx and .bbl files)
+ Precious so their removal doesn't affect whether the necessary
+ sections are included in output PDF or PostScript files.
+
+ From Gary Oberbrunner:
+
+ - Fix the ability to import modules in the site_scons directory from
+ a subdirectory.
+
+ From Adam Simpkins:
+
+ - Make sure parallel (-j) builds all targets even if they show up
+ multiple times in the child list (as a source and a dependency).
+
+ From Matthias Troffaes:
+
+ - Don't re-run TeX if the triggering strings (\makeindex, \bibliography
+ \tableofcontents) are commented out.
+
+ From Richard Viney:
+
+ - Fix use of custom include and lib paths with Visual Studio 8.
+
+ - Select the default .NET Framework SDK Dir based on the version of

+
+
+
+RELEASE 0.96.95 - Mon, 12 Feb 2007 20:25:16 -0600
+
+ From Anatoly:
+
+ - Add the scons.org URL and a package description to the setup.py
+ arguments.
+
+ - Have the Windows installer add a registry entry for scons.bat in the
+ "App Paths" key, so scons.bat can be executed without adding the
+ directory to the %PATH%. (Python itself works this way.)
+
+ From Anonymous:
+
+ - Fix looking for default paths in Visual Studio 8.0 (and later).
+
+ - Add -lm to the list of default D libraries for linking.
+
+ From Matt Doar:
+
+ - Provide a more complete write-your-own-Scanner example in the man page.
+
+ From Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve:
+
+ - Contributed upstream Python change to our copied subprocess.py module
+ for more efficient standard input processing.
+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Fix the Node.FS.Base.rel_path() method when the two nodes are on
+ different drive letters. (This caused an infinite loop when
+ trying to write .sconsign files.)
+
+ - Fully support Scanners that use a dictionary to map file suffixes
+ to other scanners.
+
+ - Support delayed evaluation of the $SPAWN variable to allow selection
+ of a function via ${} string expansions.
+
+ - Add --srcdir as a synonym for -Y/--repository.
+
+ - Document limitations of #include "file.h" with Repository().
+
+ - Fix use of a toolpath under the source directory of a BuildDir().
+
+ - Fix env.Install() with a file name portion that begins with '#'.
+
+ - Fix ParseConfig()'s handling of multiple options in a string that's
+ replaced a *FLAGS construction variable.
+
+ - Have the C++ tools initialize common C compilation variables ($CCFLAGS,
+ $SHCCFLAGS and $_CCCOMCOM) even if the 'cc' Tool isn't loaded.
+
+ From Leanid Nazdrynau:
+
+ - Fix detection of Java anonymous classes if a newline precedes the
+ opening brace.
+
+ From Gary Oberbrunner:
+
+ - Document use of ${} to execute arbitrary Python code.
+
+ - Add support for:
+ 1) automatically adding a site_scons subdirectory (in the top-level
+ SConstruct directory) to sys.path (PYTHONPATH);
+ 2) automatically importing site_scons/site_init.py;
+ 3) automatically adding site_scons/site_tools to the toolpath.
+
+ From John Pye:
+
+ - Change ParseConfig() to preserve white space in arguments passed in
+ as a list.
+
+ From a smith:
+
+ - Fix adding explicitly-named Java inner class files (and any
+ other file names that may contain a '$') to Jar files.
+
+ From David Vitek:
+
+ - Add a NoCache() function to mark targets as unsuitable for propagating
+ to (or retrieving from) a CacheDir().
+
+ From Ben Webb:
+
+ - If the swig -noproxy option is used, it won't generate a .py file,
+ so don't emit it as a target that we expect to be built.
+
+
+
+RELEASE 0.96.94 - Sun, 07 Jan 2007 18:36:20 -0600
+
+ NOTE: This is a pre-release of 0.97 for testing purposes.
+
+ From Anonymous:
+
+ - Allow arbitrary white space after a SWIG %module declaration.
+
+ From Paul:
+
+ - When compiling resources under MinGW, make sure there's a space
+ between the --include-dir option and its argument.
+
+ From Jay Kint:
+
+ - Alleviate long command line issues on Windows by executing command
+ lines directly via os.spawnv() if the command line doesn't need
+ shell interpretation (has no pipes, redirection, etc.).
+
+ From Walter Franzini:
+
+ - Exclude additional Debian packaging files from the copyright check.
+
+ From Fawad Halim:
+
+ - Handle the conflict between the impending Python 2.6 'as' keyword
+ and our Tool/as.py module name.
+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Speed up the Node.FS.Dir.rel_path() method used to generate path names
+ that get put into the .sconsign* file(s).
+
+ - Optimize Node.FS.Base.get_suffix() by computing the suffix once, up
+ front, when we set the Node's name. (Duh...)
+
+ - Reduce the Memoizer's responsibilities to simply counting hits and
+ misses when the --debug=memoizer option is used, not to actually
+ handling the key calculation and memoization itself. This speeds
+ up some configurations significantly, and should cause no functional
+ differences.
+
+ - Add a new scons-time script with subcommands for generating
+ consistent timing output from SCons configurations, extracting
+ various information from those timings, and displaying them in
+ different formats.
+
+ - Reduce some unnecessary stat() calls from on-disk entry type checks.
+
+ - Fix SideEffect() when used with -j, which was badly broken in 0.96.93.
+
+ - Propagate TypeError exceptions when evaluating construction variable
+ expansions up the stack, so users can see what's going on.
+
+ - When disambiguating a Node.FS.Entry into a Dir or File, don't look
+ in the on-disk source directory until we've confirmed there's no
+ on-disk entry locally and there *is* one in the srcdir. This avoids
+ creating a phantom Node that can interfere with dependencies on
+ directory contents.
+
+ - Add an AllowSubstExceptions() function that gives the SConscript
+ files control over what exceptions cause a string to expand to ''
+ vs. terminating processing with an error.
+
+ - Allow the f90.py and f95.py Tool modules to compile earlier source
+ source files of earlier Fortran version.
+
+ - Fix storing signatures of files retrieved from CacheDir() so they're
+ correctly identified as up-to-date next invocation.
+
+ - Make sure lists of computed source suffixes cached by Builder objects
+ don't persist across changes to the list of source Builders (so the
+ addition of suffixes like .ui by the qt.py Tool module take effect).
+
+ - Enhance the bootstrap.py script to allow it to be used to execute
+ SCons more easily from a checked-out source tree.
+
+ From Ben Leslie:
+
+ - Fix post-Memoizer value caching misspellings in Node.FS._doLookup().
+
+ From Rob Managan, Dmitry Mikhin and Joel B. Mohler:
+
+ - Handle TeX/LaTeX files in subdirectories by changing directory
+ before invoking TeX/LaTeX.
+
+ - Scan LaTeX files for \bibliography lines.
+
+ - Support multiple file names in a "\bibliography{file1,file2}" string.
+
+ - Handle TeX warnings about undefined citations.
+
+ - Support re-running LaTeX if necessary due to a Table of Contents.
+
+ From Dmitry Mikhin:
+
+ - Return LaTeX if "Rerun to get citations correct" shows up on the next
+ line after the "Warning:" string.
+
+ From Gary Oberbrunner:
+
+ - Add #include lines to fix portability issues in two tests.
+
+ - Eliminate some unnecessary os.path.normpath() calls.
+
+ - Add a $CFLAGS variable for C-specific options, leaving $CCFLAGS
+ for options common to C and C++.
+
+ From Tom Parker:
+
+ - Have the error message print the missing file that Qt can't find.
+
+ From John Pye:
+
+ - Fix env.MergeFlags() appending to construction variable value of None.
+
+ From Steve Robbins:
+
+ - Fix the "sconsign" script when the .sconsign.dblite file is explicitly
+ specified on the command line (and not intuited from the old way of
+ calling it with just ".sconsign").
+
+ From Jose Pablo Ezequiel "Pupeno" Fernandez Silva:
+
+ - Give the 'lex' tool knowledge of the additional target files produced
+ by the flex "--header-file=" and "--tables-file=" options.
+
+ - Give the 'yacc' tool knowledge of the additional target files produced
+ by the bison "-g", "--defines=" and "--graph=" options.
+
+ - Generate intermediate files with Objective C file suffixes (.m) when
+ the lex and yacc source files have appropriate suffixes (.lm and .ym).
+
+ From Sohail Somain:
+
+ - Have the mslink.py Tool only look for a 'link' executable on Windows
+ systems.
+
+ From Vaclav Smilauer:
+
+ - Add support for a "srcdir" keyword argument when calling a Builder,
+ which will add a srcdir prefix to all non-relative string sources.
+
+ From Jonathan Ultis:
+
+ - Allow Options converters to take the construction environment as
+ an optional argument.
+
+
+
+RELEASE 0.96.93 - Mon, 06 Nov 2006 00:44:11 -0600
+
+ NOTE: This is a pre-release of 0.97 for testing purposes.
+
+ From Anonymous:
+
+ - Allow Python Value Nodes to be Builder targets.
+
+ From Matthias:
+
+ - Only filter Visual Studio common filename prefixes on complete
+ directory names.
+
+ From Chad Austin:
+
+ - Fix the build of the SCons documentation on systems that don't
+ have "python" in the $PATH.
+
+ From Ken Boortz:
+
+ - Enhance ParseConfig() to recognize options that begin with '+'.
+
+ From John Calcote, Elliot Murphy:
+
+ - Document ways to override the CCPDBFLAGS variable to use the
+ Microsoft linker's /Zi option instead of the default /Z7.
+
+ From Christopher Drexler:
+
+ - Make SCons aware bibtex must be called if any \include files
+ cause creation of a bibliography.
+
+ - Make SCons aware that "\bilbiography" in TeX source files means
+ that related .bbl and .blg bibliography files will be created.
+ (NOTE: This still needs to search for the string in \include files.)
+
+ From David Gruener:
+
+ - Fix inconsistent handling of Action strfunction arguments.
+
+ - Preserve white space in display Action strfunction strings.
+
+ From James Y. Knight and Gerard Patel:
+
+ - Support creation of shared object files from assembly language.
+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Speed up the Taskmaster significantly by avoiding unnecessary
+ re-scans of Nodes to find out if there's work to be done, having it
+ track the currently-executed top-level target directly and not
+ through its presence on the target list, and eliminating some other
+ minor list(s), method(s) and manipulation.
+
+ - Fix the expansion of $TARGET and $SOURCE in the expansion of
+ $INSTALLSTR displayed for non-environment calls to InstallAs().
+
+ - Fix the ability to have an Alias() call refer to a directory
+ name that's not identified as a directory until later.
+
+ - Enhance runtest.py with an option to use QMTest as the harness.
+ This will become the default behavior as we add more functionality
+ to the QMTest side.
+
+ - Let linking on mingw use the default function that chooses $CC (gcc)
+ or $CXX (g++) depending on whether there are any C++ source files.
+
+ - Work around a bug in early versions of the Python 2.4 profile module
+ that caused the --profile= option to fail.
+
+ - Only call Options validators and converters once when initializing a
+ construction environment.
+
+ - Fix the ability of env.Append() and env.Prepend(), in all known Python
+ versions, to handle different input value types when the construction
+ variable being updated is a dictionary.
+
+ - Add a --cache-debug option for information about what files it's
+ looking for in a CacheDir().
+
+ - Document the difference in construction variable expansion between
+ {Action,Builder}() and env.{Action,Builder}().
+
+ - Change the name of env.Copy() to env.Clone(), keeping the old name
+ around for backwards compatibility (with the intention of eventually
+ phasing it out to avoid confusion with the Copy() Action factory).
+
+ From Arve Knudsen:
+
+ - Support cleaning and scanning SWIG-generated files.
+
+ From Carsten Koch:
+
+ - Allow selection of Visual Studio version by setting $MSVS_VERSION
+ after construction environment initialization.
+
+ From Jean-Baptiste Lab:
+
+ - Try using zipimport if we can't import Tool or Platform modules
+ using the normal "imp" module. This allows SCons to be packaged
+ using py2exe's all-in-one-zip-file approach.
+
+ From Ben Liblit:
+
+ - Do not re-scan files if the scanner returns no implicit dependencies.
+
+ From Sanjoy Mahajan:
+
+ - Change use of $SOURCES to $SOURCE in all TeX-related Tool modules.
+
+ From Joel B. Mohler:
+
+ - Make SCons aware that "\makeindex" in TeX source files means that
+ related .ilg, .ind and .idx index files will be created.
+ (NOTE: This still needs to search for the string in \include files.)
+
+ - Prevent scanning the TeX .aux file for additional files from
+ trying to remove it twice when the -c option is used.
+
+ From Leanid Nazdrynau:
+
+ - Give the MSVC RES (resource) Builder a src_builder list and a .rc
+ src_suffix so other builders can generate .rc files.
+
+ From Matthew A. Nicholson:
+
+ - Enhance Install() and InstallAs() to handle directory trees as sources.
+
+ From Jan Nijtmans:
+
+ - Don't use the -fPIC flag when using gcc on Windows (e.g. MinGW).
+
+ From Greg Noel:
+
+ - Add an env.ParseFlags() method that provides separate logic for
+ parsing GNU tool chain flags into a dictionary.
+
+ - Add an env.MergeFlags() method to apply an arbitrary dictionary
+ of flags to a construction environment's variables.
+
+ From Gary Oberbrunner:
+
+ - Fix parsing tripartite Intel C compiler version numbers on Linux.
+
+ - Extend the ParseConfig() function to recognize -arch and
+ -isysroot options.
+
+ - Have the error message list the known suffixes when a Builder call
+ can't build a source file with an unknown suffix.
+
+ From Karol Pietrzak:
+
+ - Avoid recursive calls to main() in the program snippet used by the
+ SConf subsystem to test linking against libraries. This changes the
+ default behavior of CheckLib() and CheckLibWithHeader() to print
+ "Checking for C library foo..." instead of "Checking for main()
+ in C library foo...".
+
+ From John Pye:
+
+ - Throw an exception if a command called by ParseConfig() or
+ ParseFlags() returns an error.
+
+ From Stefan Seefeld:
+
+ - Initial infrastructure for running SCons tests under QMTest.
+
+ From Sohail Somani:
+
+ - Fix tests that fail due to gcc warnings.
+
+ From Dobes Vandermeer:
+
+ - In stack traces, print the full paths of SConscript files.
+
+ From Atul Varma:
+
+ - Fix detection of Visual C++ Express Edition.
+
+ From Dobes Vandermeer:
+
+ - Let the src_dir option to the SConscript() function affect all the
+ the source file paths, instead of treating all source files paths
+ as relative to the SConscript directory itself.
+
+ From Nicolas Vigier:
+
+ - Fix finding Fortran modules in build directories.
+
+ - Fix use of BuildDir() when the source file in the source directory
+ is a symlink with a relative path.
+
+ From Edward Wang:
+
+ - Fix the Memoizer when the SCons Python modules are executed from
+ .pyo files at different locations from where they were compiled.
+
+ From Johan Zander:
+
+ - Fix missing os.path.join() when constructing the $FRAMEWORKSDKDIR/bin.
+
+
+
+RELEASE 0.96.92 - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 21:08:22 -0400
+
+ NOTE: This was a pre-release of 0.97 for testing purposes.
From Anonymous:
- - Fix Java parsing to avoid erroneously identifying a new array
- of class instances as an anonymous inner class.
+ - Fix the intelc.py Tool module to not throw an exception if the
+ only installed version is something other than ia32.
+
+ - Set $CCVERSION when using gcc.
+
+ From Matthias:
+
+ - Support generating project and solution files for Microsoft
+ Visual Studio version 8.
+
+ - Support generating more than one project file for a Microsoft
+ Visual Studio solution file.
+
+ - Add support for a support "runfile" parameter to Microsoft
+ Visual Studio project file creation.
+
+ - Put the project GUID, not the solution GUID, in the right spot
+ in the solution file.
+
+ From Erling Andersen:
+
+ - Fix interpretation of Node.FS objects wrapped in Proxy instances,
+ allowing expansion of things like ${File(TARGET)} in command lines.
+
+ From Stanislav Baranov:
+
+ - Add a separate MSVSSolution() Builder, with support for the
+ following new construction variables: $MSVSBUILDCOM, $MSVSCLEANCOM,
+ $MSVSENCODING, $MSVSREBUILDCOM, $MSVSSCONS, $MSVSSCONSCOM,
+ $MSVSSCONSFLAGS, $MSVSSCONSCRIPT and $MSVSSOLUTIONCOM.

+
+ - Remove unneceesary (and incorrect) SCons.Util strings on some function
+ calls in SCons.Util.
+
+ From Bob Halley:
+
+ - Fix C/C++ compiler selection on AIX to not always use the external $CC
+ environment variable.
+
+ From August Hörandl:
+
+ - Add a scanner for \include and \import files, with support for
+ searching a directory list in $TEXINPUTS (imported from the external
+ environment).
+
+ - Support $MAKEINDEX, $MAKEINDEXCOM, $MAKEINDEXCOMSTR and
+ $MAKEINDEXFLAGS for generating indices from .idx files.
+
+ From Steven Johnson:
+
+ - Add a NoClean() Environment method and function to override removal
+ of targets during a -c clean, including documentation and tests.
+
+ 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.

+ 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
+ times LaTex can be re-called to try to resolve undefined references.
+
+ - Change the order of the arguments to Configure.Checklib() to match
+ the documentation.
+
+ - Handle signature calculation properly when the Python function used
+ for a FunctionAction is an object method.
+
+ - On Windows, assume that absolute path names without a drive letter
+ refer to the drive on which the SConstruct file lives.
+
+ - Add /usr/ccs/bin to the end of the the default external execution
+ PATH on Solaris.
- - Fix a typo in the man page description of PathIsDirCreate.
+ - Add $PKGCHK and $PKGINFO variables for use on Solaris when searching
+ for the SunPRO C++ compiler. Make the default value for $PKGCHK
+ be /usr/sbin/pgkchk (since /usr/sbin isn't usually on the external
+ execution $PATH).
- From Chad Austin:
+ - Fix a man page example of overriding variables when calling
+ SharedLibrary() to also set the $LIBSUFFIXES variable.
- - Allow Help() to be called multiple times, appending to the help
- text each call.
+ - Add a --taskmastertrace=FILE option to give some insight on how
+ the taskmaster decides what Node to build next.
- - Allow Tools found on a toolpath to import Python modules from
- their local directory.
+ - Changed the names of the old $WIN32DEFPREFIX, $WIN32DEFSUFFIX,
+ $WIN32DLLPREFIX and $WIN32IMPLIBPREFIX construction variables to
+ new $WINDOWSDEFPREFIX, $WINDOWSDEFSUFFIX, $WINDOWSDLLPREFIX and
+ $WINDOWSIMPLIBPREFIX construction variables. The old names are now
+ deprecated, but preserved for backwards compatibility.
+
+ - Fix (?) a runtest.py hang on Windows when the --xml option is used.
+
+ - Change the message when an error occurs trying to interact with the
+ file system to report the target(s) in square brackets (as before) and

+
+ From Baptiste Lepilleur:
+
+ - Support the --debug=memory option on Windows when the Python version
+ has the win32process and win32api modules.
+
+ - Add support for Visual Studio 2005 Pro.
+
+ - Fix portability issues in various tests: test/Case.py,

+
+ - Ignore pkgchk errors on Solaris when searching for the C++ compiler.
+
+ - Speed up the SCons/EnvironmentTests.py unit tests.
+
+ - Add a --verbose= option to runtest.py to print executed commands
+ and their output at various levels.
+
+ From Christian Maaser:
+
+ - Add support for Visual Studio Express Editions.
+
+ - Add support for Visual Studio 8 *.manifest files, includng
+ new $WINDOWS_INSERT_MANIFEST, $WINDOWSPROGMANIFESTSUFFIX,
+ $WINDOWSPROGMANIFESTPREFIX, $WINDOWSPROGMANIFESTSUFFIX,
+ $WINDOWSSHLIBMANIFESTPREFIX and $WINDOWSSHLIBMANIFESTSUFFIX
+ construction variables.
+
+ From Adam MacBeth:
+
+ - Fix detection of additional Java inner classes following use of a
+ "new" keyword inside an inner class.
+
+ From Sanjoy Mahajan:
+
+ - 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

+ 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:
+
+ - Fix the Qt UIC scanner to work with generated .ui files (by using
+ the FindFile() function instead of checking by-hand for the file).

+
+ From Greg Noel:
+
+ - Add /sw/bin to the default execution PATH on Mac OS X.

+
+ From Asfand Yar Qazi:
+
+ - Add /opt/bin to the default execution PATH on all POSIX platforms

+ $MSVS_SCC_PROJECT_NAME, $MSVS_SCC_PROVIDER,
+

+RELEASE 0.96.91 - Thu, 08 Sep 2005 07:18:23 -0400
+
+ NOTE: This was a pre-release of 0.97 for testing purposes.
+
+ From Chad Austin:
- Have the environment store the toolpath and re-use it to find Tools
modules during later Copy() or Tool() calls (unless overridden).
files so the same signature file can interoperate on Windows and
non-Windows systems.
+ - Make --debug=stacktrace print a stacktrace when a UserError is thrown.
+
+ - Remove an old, erroneous cut-and-paste comment in Scanner/Dir.py.
+
From Stanislav Baranov:

- Allow Builders to take empty source lists when called.
+ - Allow access to both TARGET and SOURCE in $*PATH expansions.
+
+ - Allow SConscript files to modify BUILD_TARGETS.
+
From Timothee Besset:
- Add support for Objective C/C++ .m and .mm file suffixes (for
Mac OS X).
+ From Charles Crain
+
+ - Fix the PharLap linkloc.py module to use target+source arguments
+ when calling env.subst().
+
+ From Bjorn Eriksson:
+
+ - Fix an incorrect Command() keyword argument in the man page.
+
+ - Add a $TEMPFILEPREFIX variable to control the prefix or flag used
+ to pass a long-command-line-execution tempfile to a command.
+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Enhanced the SCons setup.py script to install man pages on
+ UNIX/Linux systems.
+
+ - Add support for an Options.FormatOptionHelpText() method that can
+ be overridden to customize the format of Options help text.
+
+ - Add a global name for the Entry class (which had already been
+ 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.
+
+ - Add the +Z option by default when compiling shared objects on
+ HP-UX.
+
+ From Chen Lee:
+
+ - Handle Visual Studio project and solution files in Unicode.
+
+ From Sanjoy Mahajan:
+
+ - Fix a bad use of Copy() in an example in the man page, and a
+ bad regular expression example in the man page and User's Guide.
+
+ From Shannon Mann:
+
+ - 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).
+
+ - Document the new $FRAMEWORK* variables for Mac OS X.
+
+ From Karol Pietrzak:
+
+ - Add $RPATH (-R) support to the Sun linker Tool (sunlink).
+
+ - Add a description of env.subst() to the man page.
+
+ From Chris Prince:
+
+ - 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
+ the source directory so it finds the source file.
+
+ - Update EnsureSConsVersion() to support revision numbers.
+
+ From Greg Ward:
+
+ - Fix a misplaced line in the man page.
