- A new SCons checkpoint release, 3.0.0, is now available
+ A new SCons checkpoint release, 3.0.1, is now available
on the SCons download page:
http://www.scons.org/download.php
+ XXX The primary purpose of this release ... XXX
- Here is a summary of the changes since 2.5.1:
+ 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. If not, it represents not only a bug
+ in SCons but also a hole in the regression test suite, and we want to
+ hear about it.
+
+ New features may be more lightly tested than in past releases,
+ especially as concerns their interaction with all of the other
+ functionality in SCons. We are especially interested in hearing bug
+ reports about new functionality.
+
+ We do not recommend that downstream distributions (Debian, Fedora,
+ etc.) package a checkpoint release, mainly to avoid confusing the
+ "public" release numbering with the long checkpoint release names.
+
+ Here is a summary of the changes since 1.3.0:
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- - Initial support for Python 3.5+
