+NEW FUNCTIONALITY
+-----------------

+
+DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
+------------------------
+
+- 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
FIXES
-----
-- Fix a problem in 4.5.0 where using something like the following code
- will cause a Clone()'d environment to share the CPPDEFINES with the
- original Environment() which was cloned. Causing leakage of changes
- to CPPDEFINES when they should be completely independent after the Clone.
- env=Environment(CPPDEFINES=['a'])
- env.Append(CPPDEFINES=['b']) (or AppendUnique,Prepend,PrependUnique)
- env1=env.Clone()
- env1.Append(CPPDEFINES=['c']) (or any other modification, but not overwriting CPPDEFINES)
- Now env['CPPDEFINES'] will contain 'c' when it should not.
+- List fixes of outright bugs
+
+IMPROVEMENTS
+------------
+
+- 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
+DOCUMENTATION
+-------------
+
+- List any significant changes to the documentation (not individual
