SCons checkpoint release 1.2.0.d20090113 is now available at the SCons
download page:
http://www.scons.org/download.php
This checkpoint provides early access to new features and fixes
scheduled for release in SCons 1.3.0.
IMPORTANT:
- Python versions prior to 2.2 are supported by SCons 1.1.0, 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.
- The following deprecated features will still be supported in 1.3.0
but will generate mandatory, non-disableable warnings:
-- Support for Python versions 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1.
-- The overrides= keyword argument to the Builder() call.
-- The scanner= keyword argument to the Builder() call.
-- The BuildDir() function and env.BuildDir() method.
-- The env.Copy() method.
-- The SourceSignatures() function and
env.SourceSignatures() method.
-- The TargetSignatures() function and
env.TargetSignatures() method.
-- The Sig module (now an unnused stub).
-- The --debug=dtree, --debug=stree and --debug=tree options.
-- The --debug=nomemoizer option.
-- The Options object and the related BoolOption(), EnumOption(),
ListOption(), PackageOption() and PathOption() functions.
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE
For a complete description of important changes since other recent
releases, see:
http://www.scons.org/RELEASE.txt
For a complete list of changes in all releases, see the official
change log:
http://www.scons.org/CHANGES.txt
We do not recommend that downstream distributions (Debian, Fedora,
etc.) package a checkpoint release, mainly to avoid confusing the
"public" release numbering with the long checkpoint release names.
Here is a summary of all changes since the 1.1.0 release:
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- SCons now supports batch compilation of Visual Studio C/C++ source
files when the new $MSVC_BATCH construction variable is set.
- New reserved $CHANGED_SOURCES, $CHANGED_TARGETS, $UNCHANGED_SOURCES
and $UNCHANGED_TARGETS variables provide finer-grained control
over what source or targets to pass to a command line.
- A new batch_key= keyword argument to Action object creation supports
general batched builds.
- A new --warn=future-deprecated option provides advance warnings about
future deprecated features that still have warnings hidden by default.
CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
- $CCFLAGS is no longer included in the default definitions of $CXXFLAGS
for Visual C/C++ and MIPSpro C++ on SGI (to match other tools and
avoid flag duplication on C++ command lines).
- Scanning files encoded in utf-8 and utf-16 for implicit dependencies
is now supported.
- Linker tools modules now differentiate properly between the SharedLibrary
and LoadableModule Builders.
- Don't automatically try to build .pdf graphics files for .eps files in
\includegraphics{} calls in TeX/LaTeX files when building with the PDF
builder (and thus using pdflatex).
- Setting WINDOWS_INSERT_DEF=0 now disables --output-def when linking
under MinGW.
- AppendENVPath() and PrependENVPath() now interpret '#' in paths
relative to the top-level SConstruct directory.
- The message, "scons: Build interrupted." is no printed on error output,
not standard output.
- Quoted module names in SWIG source files are no handled correctly.
FIXES
- $SOURCE and $SOURCES attributes now work even when there are no
sources specified in the Builder call.
- $SWIGOUTDIR values with spaces now work properly.
- The Borland ilink linker now uses the -e option to specify the output
file name.
- SCons now correctly identifies shared libraries and shared object files
in a Repository.
DOCUMENTATION
- The TestCommon.shobj_prefix variable is now documented.
- Document that the msvc Tool module uses $PCH, $PCHSTOP and $PDB.
- The User's Guide has had numerous typos fixed.
Thanks to Stanislav Baranov, Ted Johnson, Arve Knudsen, Rob Managan,
Gary Oberbrunner, Zia Sobhani, Greg Spencer, Roberto de Vecchi, Ben Webb
and Matthew Wesley for their contributions to this release.
