   This is the seventh alpha release of SCons.  Please consult the
   CHANGES.txt file for a list of specific changes since last release.
 
+  Please note the following UPCOMING very important change:
+
+    - As of the next SCons release (0.08), Builder objects will no longer
+      automatically split target and source file strings on white space.
+      SCons will interpret the string arguments for the target or source
+      files as the complete name of the file, even if the name contains
+      white space.
+
+      Consequently, any builder calls that you have defined which supply
+      multiple file names in a single string, such as:
+
+          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:
+
+          env.Program(target = 'foo', source = ['f1.c', 'f2.c'])
+
+      Or you may use the newly-provided Split() function to turn a
+      string of white-space separated file names into an array:
+
+          env.Program(target = 'foo', source = Split('f1.c f2.c'))
+
+      The Split() function preserves the functionality that the builder
+      objects currently invoke internally: if the argument is a string,
+      it will be split on white space; if the argument is already a list,
+      the list will be returned.
+
+      (You may, of course, also use the string.split() function from
+      the standard Python library to convert your strings.)

   Owing to an extensive test suite, the SCons team believes that this
   release is of sufficient quality that you can use it for real work,
