XXX + Here is a summary of the changes since 3.1.1: - 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: + NOTE: The 4.0.0 Release of SCons will drop Python 2.7 Support NEW FUNCTIONALITY + - Added debug option "action_timestamps" which outputs to stdout the absolute start and end time for each target. - - List new features (presumably why a checkpoint is being released) - - DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY + REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY + - Turn previously deprecated debug options into failures: + --debug=tree, --debug=dtree, --debug=stree, --debug=nomemoizer. + - Remove deprecated SourceSignatures, TargetSignatures + - Remove deprecated Builder keywords: overrides and scanner + - Remove deprecated env.Copy + - Remove deprecated BuildDir plus SConscript keyword build_dir - - List anything that's been deprecated since the last release CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY - - - List modifications to existing features, where the previous behavior - wouldn't actually be considered a bug + - 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 + - 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. FIXES - - - List fixes of outright bugs + - Fix suncxx tool (Oracle Studio compiler) when using Python 3. Previously would throw an exception. + Resolved by properly handling tool version string output as unicode. + - Resolved a race condition in multithreaded Windows builds with Python 2 + in the case where a child process is spawned while a Python action has a + file open. Original author: Ryan Beasley. + - Fix CheckFunc detection code for Visual 2019. Some functions + (e.g. memmove) were incorrectly recognized as not available. + - Fix stacktrace when using SCons with Python 3.5+ and SunOS/Solaris related tools. + - Latex: 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. + - CmdStringHolder fix from issue #3428 IMPROVEMENTS + - 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. - - List improvements that wouldn't be visible to the user in the - documentation: performance improvements (describe the circumstances - under which they would be observed), or major code cleanups PACKAGING - - List changes in the way SCons is packaged and/or released + - N/A DOCUMENTATION - - List any significant changes to the documentation (not individual - typo fixes, even if they're mentioned in src/CHANGES.txt to give - the contributor credit) + - N/A DEVELOPMENT - - List visible changes in the way SCons is developed + - N/A + + +Thanks to the following developers for their contributions to this release. +git shortlog --no-merges -ns 3.1.1..HEAD + 59 Mats Wichmann + 21 William Deegan + 8 Edoardo Bezzeccheri + 5 Adam Gross + 5 maiphi + 4 Ivan Kravets + 4 Mathew Robinson + 2 Jakub Kulík + 2 Jacek Kuczera + 2 Rob Boehne + 2 Jason Kenny + 2 Tim Gates + 1 Jakub Kulik + 1 Theogen Ratkin + 1 jw0k - Thanks to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE for their contributions to this release. - Contributors are listed alphabetically by their last name.
