SCons checkpoint release 1.0.1.d20080915 has been released and is now
available at the SCons download page:
http://www.scons.org/download.php
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE
This release contains bug fixes and features for testing before more
wider release in version 1.1.
IMPORTANT: Python versions prior to 2.2 are supported by SCons 1.0.1,
but are officially deprecated and will generate a disableable warning
message. We plan to remove support for these older versions in
SCons 2.0. If removing this support would cause a problem for you,
please contact the [email protected] mailing list.

releases, see:

Here is a summary of all changes since the 1.0.1 release:
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- New CheckCC, CheckCXX, CheckSHCC and CheckSHCXX tests have been added.
CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
- Visual C/C++ compilation command lines now put /Fo and the target
object file name at the beginning of the command line.
- The scons wrapper script will now find the SCons library in a
directory named "scons-local" (with no version number) if it exists.
- SCons now raises an AttributeError, not a KeyError, when a builder
can not be found attached to a given construction environment.
- The add_src_builder() method can now be called to add a new
source file builder to any builder object.
- The TeX builders now allow specification of a target name, instead
of always using a default output name derived from the source.
- The Glob() function now returns its matches in a fixed, sorted
order, to prevent unnecessary rebuilds in subsequent invocations.
FIXES
- Glob() no longer persists LIBPATH values across construction
environments in certain situations.
- VariantDir now correctly duplicates #incude files in subdirectories.
- SCons now correctly finds the Python library directory even when
it was installed in a directory that does not begin "python".
- Actions executed via the Execute() function now clear cached Node
information.
- Error output when determining the gcc compiler version is now suppressed.
- SCons now correctly makes the subdirectory in which a SConsignFile()
will be stored, if it doesn't already exist.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Memory usage has been reduced when a directory is used as a dependency
of another Node, such as an Alias.
- Memory usage has been reduced when Null Executor objects are used.
- SCons now handles interrupts of the TeX tool chains more robustly.
- SCons now avoids object reference cycles from Python frame objects.
- The --profile=3D argument now uses the cProfile module (instead of
the slower profile module) if it's available.
DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
- Fix typos and format bugs in the man page.
