+
+ From Chad Austin:
+
+ - Use .dll (not .so) for shared libraries on Cygwin; use -fPIC
+ when compiling them.
+
+ - Use 'rm' to remove files under Cygwin.
+
+ - Add a PLATFORM variable to construction environments.
+
+ - Remove the "platform" argument from tool specifications.
+
+ - Propogate PYTHONPATH when running the regression tests so distutils
+ can be found in non-standard locations.
+
+ - Using MSVC long command-line linking when running Cygwin.
+
+ - Portability fixes for a lot of tests.
+
+ - Add a Value Node class for dependencies on in-core Python values.
+
+ From Allen Bierbaum:
+
+ - Pass an Environment to the Options validator method, and
+ add an Options.Save() method.
+
+ From Steve Christensen:
+
+ - Add an optional sort function argument to the GenerateHelpText()
+ Options function.
+
+ - Evaluate the "varlist" variables when computing the signature of a
+ function action.
+
+ From Charles Crain:
+
+ - Parse the source .java files for class names (including inner class
+ names) to figure out the target .class files that will be created.
+
+ - Make Java support work with Repositories and SConscriptChdir(0).
+
+ - Pass Nodes, not strings, to Builder emitter functions.
+
+ - Refactor command-line interpolation and signature calculation
+ so we can use real Node attributes.
+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Add Java support (javac, javah, jar and rmic).
+
+ - Propagate the external SYSTEMROOT environment variable into ENV on
+ Win32 systems, so external commands that use sockets will work.
+
+ - Add a .posix attribute to PathList expansions.
+
+ - Check out CVS source files using POSIX path names (forward slashes
+ as separators) even on Win32.
+
+ - Add Node.clear() and Node.FS.Entry.clear() methods to wipe out a
+ Node's state, allowing it to be re-evaluated by continuous
+ integration build interfaces.
+
+ - Change the name of the Set{Build,Content}SignatureType() functions
+ to {Target,Source}Signatures(). Deprecate the old names but support
+ them for backwards compatibility.
+
+ - Add internal SCons.Node.FS.{Dir,File}.Entry() methods.
+
+ From Damyan Pepper:
+
+ - Quote the "Entering directory" message like Make.
+
+ From Stefan Reichor:
+
+ - Add support for using Ghostscript to convert Postscript to PDF files.
+
+ From Anthony Roach:
+
+ - Add a standalone "Alias" function (separate from an Environment).
+
+ - Make Export() work for local variables.
+
+ - Support passing a dictionary to Export().
+
+ - Support Import('*') to import everything that's been Export()ed.
+
+ - Fix an undefined exitvalmap on Win32 systems.
+
+ - Support new SetOption() and GetOption() functions for setting
+ various command-line options from with an SConscript file.
+
+ - Deprecate the old SetJobs() and GetJobs() functions in favor of
+ using the new generic {Set,Get}Option() functions.
+
+ - Fix a number of tests that searched for a Fortran compiler using the
+ external PATH instead of what SCons would use.
+
+ From David Snopek:
+
+ - Contribute the "Autoscons" code for Autoconf-like checking for
+ the existence of libraries, header files and the like.
+
+ From Greg Spencer:
+
+ - Support the C preprocessor #import statement.
+
+ - Allow the SharedLibrary() Builder on Win32 systems to be able to
+ register a newly-built dll using regsvr32.
+
+ - Add a Builder for Windows type library (.tlb) files from IDL files.
+
+ - Add an IDL scanner.
+
+ - Refactor the Fortran, C and IDL scanners to share common logic.
+
+ - Add .srcpath and .srcdir attributes to $TARGET and $SOURCE.
+
+ From Christoph Wiedemann:
+
+ - Integrate David Snopek's "Autoscons" code as the new SConf
+ configuration subsystem, including caching of values between
+ runs (using normal SCons dependency mechanisms), tests, and
+ documentation.
+
+
+
+RELEASE 0.13 - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 20:22:00 -0600
+
+ From Charles Crain:
+
+ - Fix a bug when BuildDir(duplicate=0) is used and SConscript
+ files are called from within other SConscript files.
+
+ - Support (older) versions of Perforce which don't set the Windows
+ registry.
+
+
+
+RELEASE 0.12 - Thu, 27 Mar 2003 23:52:09 -0600
+
+ From Charles Crain:
+
+ - Added support for the Perforce source code management system.
+
+ - Fix str(Node.FS) so that it returns a path relative to the calling
+ SConscript file's directory, not the top-level directory.
+
+ - Added support for a separate src_dir argument to SConscript()
+ that allows explicit specification of where the source files
+ for an SConscript file can be found.
+
+ - Support more easily re-usable flavors of command generators by
+ calling callable variables when strings are expanded.
+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Added an INSTALL construction variable that can be set to a function
+ to control how the Install() and InstallAs() Builders install files.
+ The default INSTALL function now copies, not links, files.
+
+ - Remove deprecated features: the "name" argument to Builder objects,
+ and the Environment.Update() method.
+
+ - Add an Environment.SourceCode() method to support fetching files
+ from source code systems. Add factory methods that create Builders
+ to support BitKeeper, CVS, RCS, and SCCS. Add support for fetching
+ files from RCS or SCCS transparently (like GNU Make).
+
+ - Make the internal to_String() function more efficient.
+
+ - Make the error message the same as other build errors when there's a
+ problem unlinking a target file in preparation for it being built.
+
+ - Make TARGET, TARGETS, SOURCE and SOURCES reserved variable names and
+ warn if the user tries to set them in a construction environment.
+
+ - Add support for Tar and Zip files.
+
+ - Better documentation of the different ways to export variables to a
+ subsidiary SConscript file. Fix documentation bugs in a tools
+ example, places that still assumed SCons split strings on white
+ space, and typos.
+
+ - Support fetching arbitrary files from the TARGETS or SOURCES lists
+ (e.g. ${SOURCES[2]}) when calculating the build signature of a
+ command.
+
+ - Don't silently swallow exceptions thrown by Scanners (or other
+ exceptions while finding a node's dependent children).
+
+ - Push files to CacheDir() before calling the superclass built()
+ method (which may clear the build signature as part of clearing
+ cached implicit dependencies, if the file has a source scanner).
+ (Bug reported by Jeff Petkau.)
+
+ - Raise an internal error if we attempt to push a file to CacheDir()
+ with a build signature of None.
+
+ - Add an explicit Exit() function for terminating early.
+
+ - Change the documentation to correctly describe that the -f option
+ doesn't change to the directory in which the specified file lives.
+
+ - Support changing directories locally with SConscript directory
+ path names relative to any SConstruct file specified with -f.
+ This allows you to build in another directory by simply changing
+ there and pointing at the SConstruct file in another directory.
+
+ - Change the default SConscriptChdir() behavior to change to the
+ SConscript directory while it's being read.
+
+ - Fix an exception thrown when the -U option was used with no
+ Default() target specified.
+
+ - Fix -u so that it builds things in corresponding build directories
+ when used in a source directory.
+
+ From Lachlan O'Dea:
+
+ - Add SharedObject() support to the masm tool.
+
+ - Fix WhereIs() to return normalized paths.
+
+ From Jeff Petkau:
+
+ - Don't copy a built file to a CacheDir() if it's already there.
+
+ - Avoid partial copies of built files in a CacheDir() by copying
+ to a temporary file and renaming.
+
+ From Anthony Roach:
+
+ - Fix incorrect dependency-cycle errors when an Aliased source doesn't
+ exist.
+
+
+
+RELEASE 0.11 - Tue, 11 Feb 2003 05:24:33 -0600
+
+ From Chad Austin:
+
+ - Add support for IRIX and the SGI MIPSPro tool chain.
+
+ - Support using the MSVC tool chain when running Cygwin Python.
+
+ From Michael Cook:
+
+ - Avoid losing signal bits in the exit status from a command,
+ helping terminate builds on interrupt (CTRL+C).
+
+ From Charles Crain:
+
+ - Added new AddPreAction() and AddPostAction() functions that support
+ taking additional actions before or after building specific targets.
+
+ - Add support for the PharLap ETS tool chain.
+
+ From Steven Knight:
+
+ - Allow Python function Actions to specify a list of construction
+ variables that should be included in the Action's signature.
+
+ - Allow libraries in the LIBS variable to explicitly include the prefix
+ and suffix, even when using the GNU linker.
+ (Bug reported by Neal Becker.)
+
+ - Use DOS-standard CR-LF line endings in the scons.bat file.
+ (Bug reported by Gary Ruben.)
+
+ - Doc changes: Eliminate description of deprecated "name" keyword
+ argument from Builder definition (reported by Gary Ruben).
+
+ - Support using env.Append() on BUILDERS (and other dictionaries).
+ (Bug reported by Bj=F6rn Bylander.)
+
+ - Setting the BUILDERS construction variable now properly clears
+ the previous Builder attributes from the construction Environment.
+ (Bug reported by Bj=F6rn Bylander.)
+
+ - Fix adding a prefix to a file when the target isn't specified.
+ (Bug reported by Esa Ilari Vuokko.)
+
+ - Clean up error messages from problems duplicating into read-only
+ BuildDir directories or into read-only files.
+
+ - Add a CommandAction.strfunction() method, and add an "env" argument
+ to the FunctionAction.strfunction() method, so that all Action
+ objects have strfunction() methods, and the functions for building
+ and returning a string both take the same arguments.
+
+ - Add support for new CacheDir() functionality to share derived files
+ between builds, with related options --cache-disable, --cache-force,
+ and --cache-show.
+
+ - Change the default behavior when no targets are specified to build
+ everything in the current directory and below (like Make). This
+ can be disabled by specifying Default(None) in an SConscript.
+
+ - Revamp SCons installation to fix a case-sensitive installation
+ on Win32 systems, and to add SCons-specific --standard-lib,
+ --standalone-lib, and --version-lib options for easier user
+ control of where the libraries get installed.
+
+ - Fix the ability to directly import and use Platform and Tool modules
+ that have been implicitly imported into an Environment().
+
+ - Add support for allowing an embedding interface to annotate a node
+ when it's created.
+
+ - Extend the SConscript() function to accept build_dir and duplicate
+ keyword arguments that function like a BuildDir() call.
+
+ From Steve Leblanc:
+
+ - Fix the output of -c -n when directories are involved, so it
+ matches -c.
+
+ From Anthony Roach:
+
+ - Use a different shared object suffix (.os) when using gcc so shared
+ and static objects can exist side-by-side in the same directory.
+
+ - Allow the same object files on Win32 to be linked into either
+ shared or static libraries.
+
+ - Cache implicit cache values when using --implicit-cache.
+
+
+
+RELEASE 0.10 - Thu, 16 Jan 2003 04:11:46 -0600
From Derrick 'dman' Hudson:
- Refactor the Scanner interface to eliminate unnecessary Scanner
calls and make it easier to write efficient scanners.
+ - Added a "recursive" flag to Scanner creation that specifies the
+ Scanner should be invoked recursively on dependency files returned
+ by the scanner.
+
- Significant performance improvement from using a more efficient
check, throughout the code, for whether a Node has a Builder.
multiple source files specified; the target is now deduced from just
the first source file in the list.
+ - Documentation fixes: better initial explanation of SConscript files;
+ fix a misformatted "table" in the StaticObject explanation.
+
+ From Steven Knight and Steve Leblanc:
+
+ - Fix the -c option so it will remove symlinks.
+
From Steve Leblanc:
- Add a Clean() method to support removing user-specified targets
when using the -c option.
+ - Add a development script for running SCons through PyChecker.
+
+ - Clean up things found by PyChecker (mostly unnecessary imports).
+
+ - Add a script to use HappyDoc to create HTML class documentation.
+
From Lachlan O'Dea:
- Make the Environment.get() method return None by default.
- Added support for the MinGW tool chain.
+ - Added a --debug=includes option.
