http://www.scons.org/
Or through the download link at the SCons project page at SourceForge:

RPM and Debian packages and a Win32 installer are all available, in

WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?
This release adds the following features:
- A new AddOptions() method makes it easier to add multiple command-line
option specifications in a single call.
- New BoolOption(), EnumOption(), ListOption(), PackageOption() and
PathOption() functions provide canned initialization for several
useful types of common option behavior.
- New BUILD_TARGETS, COMMAND_LINE_TARGETS and DEFAULT_TARGETS variables
provide access to the lists of targets specified on the command line
or through calls to the Default() function or method.
The following fixes have been added:
- The use of CPPDEFINES with C++ source files has been fixed.
- The env.Append() method now works properly when the operand
is an object with a __cmp__() method (like a Scanner instance).
- Subclassing the Environment and Scanner classes has been fixed.
- C++ compilation with the SGI compiler has been fixed.
- C and C++ compilation with AIX compiler has been fixed.
The documentation has been improved:
- The man page un-indented correctly after examples in some browsers;
this has been fixed.
- Use of the Options() object to control command-line options has
been documented in the User's Guide.
- New features have been documented in the man page and User's Guide.
