-  IMPORTANT:  In 1.3.0 and 2.0.0, explicit dependencies (configured via
-  the Depends() call) are ignored for any nodes that do not have builders.
-  This known issue[1] will typically only happen if you explicitly
-  configure a builder call to create multiple output files, some of which
-  are "hidden" from SCons by not being listed in the targets list, and then
-  use Depends() to establish an explicit dependency on a "hidden" file.

-  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:
 
   NEW FUNCTIONALITY
 
   - There should be no new functionality or bug fixes in this checkpoint.
