+ Please note the following important changes since release 2.5.1:
+ *IT IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USE*
+
+ This is the initial release supporting both python 3.5+ and 2.7.x and pypy
+ There are some important changes:
+
+ - Any print statements must now use python 3 syntax of "print()"
+ - All node content should be in bytes. This is the default in python 2.7.x,
+ in Python 3 all strings are by default unicode. byte and/or bytearray
+ should be used if you construct content for return by a custom node type's
+ get_content() method.
+ - This is some (as yet unresolved issue) using Literal()'s in some context with
+ Python 3
+ - pypy should be supported, please report any issues to the user's mailing list.
+ - Currently if you switch back and forth between python 2.7.x and 3.5+ you will
+ need to remove your sconsign file. This should be resolves shortly, but
+ regardless switching between python 2.7.x and 3.5+ will not use compatible
+ sconsigns and as such incremental builds should be expected to rebuild
+ anything changed since the previous scons run with the same version of python.
+ - It is likely that migrating from 2.5.1 -> 3.0.0 alpha will cause rebuilds due
+ to the significant number of changes in the codebase.
+
+ - Removed deprecated tools CVS, Perforce, BitKeeper, RCS, SCCS, Subversion.
+ - Removed deprecated module SCons.Sig
+ - See CHANGES.txt for more details on other changes
+ - 3.0.0 should be slightly faster than 2.5.1. Changes yielded a 15% speed up for
+ null incremental builds.
+ - Updated D language scanner support to latest: 2.071.1.
+ - python -m SCons should now run SCons if it's installed PYTHONPATH
+
+
+ Please note the following important changes since release 2.4.1:
We're enhancing implicit language scanning functionality to improve
correctness. SCons now honors scanner keys for implicit dependencies
and correctly changes scanner type (if necessary) when traversing
