- Here is a summary of the changes since 2.3.0:
+ Here is a summary of the changes since 2.3.1:
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- - 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.
+ - Support for Visual Studio 12.0Exp and 2013 (12.0).
DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
- -
+ - RPM and m4 are no longer in the default toolset on Windows.
+ - BitKeeper, CVS, Perforce, RCS, SCCS are deprecated from the
+ default toolset and will be removed from the default toolset
+ in future SCons versions.
+ - D language, version 1, is now deprecated. Version 2 is
+ supported.
CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
- - 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.
+ - Revamp of D language support.
+ Tools for DMD, GDC and LDC are provided, and integrated
+ with the C and C++ linking.
+ - TeX builder now supports -synctex=1
+ - TeX builder cleans auxiliary files correctly with biblatex.
FIXES
- - 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).
+ - Fixed handling of nested ifs in CPP scanner PreProcessor class.
+ - Respect user's CC/CXX values; don't always overwrite in generate()
+ - Delegate linker Tool.exists() to CC/CXX Tool.exists().
+ - Fixed NoClean() for multi-target builders (#2353).
+ - Fix SConf tests that write output
+ - get default RPM architecture more robustly when building RPMs
+ - Allow varlist to be specified as list of strings for Actions (#2754)
+ - Fixes to Docbook tool
PACKAGING
- - No changes
+ - Update XML doc editor configuration
DEVELOPMENT
- - 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.
+ - Improvements to running scons.py from the source tree
