XXX - Here is a summary of the changes since 2.3.3 + A SCons "checkpoint release" is intended to provide early access to + new features so they can be tested in the field before being released + for adoption by other software distributions. + + Note that a checkpoint release is developed using the same test-driven + development methodology as all SCons releases. Existing SCons + functionality should all work as it does in previous releases (except + for any changes identified in the release notes) and early adopters + should be able to use a checkpoint release safely for production work + with existing SConscript files.
