A new SCons release, 2.4.1, is now available
on the SCons download page:
http://www.scons.org/download.php
Here is a summary of the changes since 2.4.0:
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- InstallVersionedLib now available in the DefaultEnvironment context.
- Added new configure check, CheckProg, to check for existence of a program.
- Add support `Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7'
Compiler can be obtained at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266
DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
- Reimplemented versioning for shared libraries, with the following effects
- Fixed tigris issues #3001, #3006.
- Fixed several other issues not reported to tigris, including:
issues with versioned libraries in subdirectories with tricky names,
issues with versioned libraries and variant directories,
issue with soname not being injected to library when using D linkers,
- Switched to direct symlinks instead of daisy-chained ones -- soname and
development symlinks point directly to the versioned shared library now),
for rationale see:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages
https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/pull-requests/247/new-versioned-libraries-gnulink-cyglink/diff#comment-10063929
- New construction variables to allow override default behavior: SONAME,
SHLIBVERSIONFLAGS, _SHLIBVERSIONFLAGS, SHLIBNOVERSIONSYMLINKS,
LDMODULEVERSION, LDMODULEVERSIONFLAGS, _LDMODULEVERSIONFLAGS,
LDMODULENOVERSIONSYMLINKS.
- Changed logic used to configure the versioning machinery from
platform-centric to linker-oriented.
- The SHLIBVERSION/LDMODULEVERSION variables are no longer validated by
SCons (more freedom to users).
- InstallVersionedLib() doesn't use SHLIBVERSION anymore.
- Enchanced docs for the library versioning stuff.
- New tests for versioned libraries.
- Library versioning is currently implemented for the following linker
tools: 'cyglink', 'gnulink', 'sunlink'.
FIXES
- Fix for issue #2840 - Fix for two environments specifying same target with different
actions not throwing hard error. Instead SCons was incorrectly issuing a warning
and continuing.
- Fix to swig tool - pick-up 'swig', 'swig3.0' and 'swig2.0' (in order).
- Fix to swig tool - respect env['SWIG'] provided by user.
- Fix for Bug # 2791 - Setup.py fails unnecessarily under Jython.
- Fixed license of SVG titlepage files in the context of Debian
packaging, such that they allow for commercial use too (#2985).
- Fixed tigris issue #3011: Glob() excludes didn't work when used with VariantDir(duplicate=0)
- Fix bug 2831 and allow Help() text to be appended to AddOption() help.
