All Builders return a Node or a list of Nodes,
representing the target or targets that will be built.
-A list of Nodes is returned if there is more than one target, and a
-single Node is returned if there is only one target.

CHANGES.txt file for a list of specific changes since last release.

+ These message might interfere with scripts that examine SCons

Please note the following important changes since release 0.07:
- Builder objects no longer automatically split target and source
env.Program(target = 'foo', source = 'f1.c f2.c')
- These calls will need to be changed by next release. You may
- either split up the string into an array of individual file name
- strings by hand:

the standard Python library to convert your strings.)

processed builder specification overwrites all other builders,
without any warning.
- - There is not yet a mechanism to configure using file timestamps
- instead of MD5 signatures to determine if a file is up-to-date.
-
- Executing the -u or -U option from a source directory that has an
associated BuildDir() does not build the targets in the BuildDir().
- No support yet for the following future features:
- - Configurable signature calculation

- No support for caching built files.
- No support yet for the following command-line options:
-d -e -l --list-actions --list-derived --list-where
