Please consult the RELEASE.txt file for a summary of changes since the last
release and consult the CHANGES.txt file for complete a list of changes
since last release. This announcement highlights only the important
changes.
+ Please note the following important changes since release 2.2.0:
+
+ -- SUPPORT FOR PYTHON VERSIONS BEFORE 2.7 IS NOW DEPRECATED
+
+ ***IMPORTANT***: This release is the last version of SCons to support
+ Python versions older than 2.7. This release will warn if you are
+ running on Python 2.6 or older; future releases will probably not
+ work at all, as we are moving toward supporting Python 3.
+ Use --warn=no-python-version to suppress the warning if needed.
+
+ -- A lot of python pre-2.4 compatibility code was removed
+ in this release. 2.4 is the official floor for SCons,
+ but this release will likely enforce it more rigidly.
+
+ -- Spawning subprocesses on Windows should now be more reliable with -jN
+
+ -- MSVC10 and MSVC11 support improved, and fixed MSVS11 solution generation.
+
+ -- Various TeX/LaTeX builder improvements
+
+ -- Support for versioned shared libs on Linux and Mac, via
+ SHLIBVERSION and InstallVersionedLib.
+
+ -- WiX builder updates
