-==============IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR NEXT VERSION V2.5.0==========
-PLEASE READ. CHANGES COMING IN NEXT MAJOR RELEASE V2.5.0
-
-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
-implicit dependency trees.
-
-This enhancement resolves missing dependencies
-with built-in scanners including SWIG (#2264) and QT:
-* http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2264
-
-This enhancement broadens the horizon for handling heterogeneous
-data flow environments (E.G. software builds):
-* http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.scons.user/26596
-Notes:
-
-* SCons may find new (and correct) dependencies in cross-langauge contexts.
-** Update may cause rebuilds, especially in heterogeneous data environments.
-** Update may find previously missed dependencies errors (E.G. cycles).
-*** Discovered in some QT test cases.
-* SCons handles the SCANNERS variable differently.
-** Previously, the Install builder would scan implicit dependencies for
- a scanner found in SCANNERS (but not for built-in scanners), but now
- the Install builder will not scan recursively regardless in order
- to optimize Install behaviour and bring orthogonality to previous behaviour.

+
+ - SCons handles cache directories a bit differently/
+ - Cache files are now stored in 256 subdirectories in the cache directory by
+ default (this stresses NFS less). Existing cache directories will remain as
+ current, but SCons will prompt you to run scons-configure-cache which will
+ allow you to migrate to the new layout, or confirm you want to use the
+ existing layout.
+
+ - New external tool scons-configurecache which allows some configuration of
+ how files in the cache are controlled.

Please note the following important changes since release 2.4.0:
- Fix to swig tool - pick-up 'swig', 'swig3.0' and 'swig2.0' (in order).
- Fix to swig tool - respect env['SWIG'] provided by user.
