+ Here is a summary of the changes since 2.3.0:
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- - Versioned shared library support for Linux and Mac:
- Add SHLIBVERSION as an option that tells SharedLibrary to build
- a versioned shared library and create the required symlinks.
- Add builder InstallVersionedLib to create the required symlinks
- installing a versioned shared library.
+ - Add Pseudo command to mark targets which should not exist after
+ they are built.
+ - Add support for a readonly cache (--cache-readonly)
+ - Added cyglink linker that uses Cygwin naming conventions for
+ shared libraries and automatically generates import libraries.
+ - Added optional ZIPROOT to Zip tool.
DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
- - Removed a lot of Python 2.3 and older support code
- - Hide deprecated --debug={dtree,stree,tree} from --help output
+ -
CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
- - No changes
+ - DocBook tool can now output EPUB format
+ - Allow multiple options to be specified with --debug=a,b,c
+ - Update bootstrap.py so it can be used from any dir, to run
+ SCons from a source (non-installed) dir.
+ - Added release_target_info() to File nodes, which helps to
+ reduce memory consumption in clean builds and update runs
+ of large projects.
+ - Print full stack on certain errors, for debugging.
+ - Improve documentation for Textfile builder.
FIXES
- - Fix subprocess spawning on Windows. Work around a Windows
- bug that can crash python occasionally when using -jN. (#2449)
- - Fix nested LIBPATH expansion by flattening sequences in subst_path.
- - Fix WiX Tool to use .wixobj rather than .wxiobj for compiler output
- - Add MSVC10 and MSVC11 support to get_output low-level bat script runner.
- - Fix MSVS solution generation for VS11, and fixed tests.
-
- IMPROVEMENTS
-
- - Error messages from option parser now include hints about valid choices
- - Support building with WiX releases after 2.0
- - Print target name with command execution time with --debug=time
- - Updated the TeX builder to support the \newglossary command
- in LaTeX's glossaries package and the files it creates.
- - Improve support for new versions of biblatex in the TeX builder
- so biber is called automatically if biblatex requires it.
+ - Stop leaking file handles to subprocesses by switching to using subprocess
+ always.
+ - Generally try harder to print out a message on build errors
+ - Added a switch to warn on missing targets
+ - Always print stats if requested
+ - Check for 8.3 filenames on cygwin as well as win32 to make variant_dir work properly.
+ - Make sure SharedLibrary depends on all dependent libs (by depending on SHLINKCOM)
+ - Fixed the setup of linker flags for a versioned SharedLibrary
+ under OpenBSD (#2916).
+ - Improve error if Visual Studio bat file not found.
+ - Allow Subst.Literal string objects to be compared with each other,
+ so they work better in AddUnique() and Remove().
+ - Fixed the handling of long options in the command-line
+ parsing (#2929).
+ - Fixed misspelled variable in intelc.py (#2928).
+ - VS2012 & VS2010: Resolve initialization issues by adding path to reg.exe
+ in shell used to run batch files.
+ - MSVC Support: fixed defaulting TARGET_ARCH to HOST_ARCH. It should be
+ None if not explicitly set.
+ - MSVC: Fixed issue where if more than one Architectures compilers are
+ detected, it would take the last one found, and not the first.
+ - Fixed spelling errors in MAN pages (#2897).
+ - Fixed description of ignore_case for EnumVariable in the
+ MAN page (#2774).

DEVELOPMENT
- - Updated test framework to support dir and file fixtures and
- added ability to test external (out-of-tree) tools.
- See doc in QMTest/test-framework.rst.
- - Added ability to run scripts/scons.py directly from source checkout
- - Several fixes for runtest.py
- - Fixed several errors in the test suite.
- - Add -jN support to runtest.py to run tests in parallel
-
+ - Count statistics of instances are now collected only when
+ the --debug=count command-line option is used (#2922).
+ - Test harness: fail_test() can now print a message to help debugging.
+ - Require rpmbuild when building SCons package.
+ - Replaced old SGML-based documentation toolchain with a more modern
+ approach, that also requires less external dependencies (programs and
+ Python packages). Added a customized Docbook XSD for strict validation of
+ all input XML files.
