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.
+
+ NOTE: The 4.0.0 Release of SCons will drop Python 2.7 Support
+
+ Please note the following important changes since release 3.1.1:
+ - Added debug option "action_timestamps" which outputs to stdout the absolute start and end time for each target.
+ - Update Command() function to accept target_scanner, source_factory, and target_factory arguments.
+ This makes Command act more like a one-off builder.
+ - Added support for "-imacros" to ParseFlags
+ - Avoid crash with UnicodeDecodeError on Python 3 when a Latex log file in
+ non-UTF-8 encoding (e.g. containing umlauts in Latin-1 encoding when
+ the fontenc package is included with \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}) is read.
+ - Improved threading performance by ensuring NodeInfo is shared
+ across threads. Results in ~13% improvement for parallel builds
+ (-j# > 1) with many shared nodes.
+ - Improve performance of Entry.disambiguate() by making check for
+ most common case first, preventing unnecessary IO.
+ - Improved DAG walk performance by reducing unnecessary work when
+ there are no un-visited children.
+ - Turn previously deprecated debug options into failures:
+ --debug=tree, --debug=dtree, --debug=stree, --debug=nomemoizer.
+ - Experimental New Feature: Enable caching MSVC configuration
+ If SCONS_CACHE_MSVC_CONFIG shell environment variable is set,
+ SCons will cache the results of past calls to vcvarsall.bat to
+ a file; integrates with existing memoizing of such vars.
+ On vs2019 saves 5+ seconds per SCons invocation, which really
+ helps test suite runs.
+ - Remove deprecated SourceSignatures, TargetSignatures
+ - Remove deprecated Builder keywords: overrides and scanner
+ - Remove deprecated env.Copy
+ - Remove deprecated BuildDir plus SConscript keyword build_dir
+
Please note the following important changes since release 3.0.4:
- Change the default for AppendENVPath to delete_existing=0, so path
order will not be changed, unless explicitly set (Issue #3276)
