If you are reading this in the git repository, the contents
refer to *unreleased* changes since the last SCons release.
Past official release announcements appear at:
https://scons.org/tag/releases.html
==================================================================
A new SCons release, 4.5.3, is now available on the SCons download page:
https://scons.org/pages/download.html
Here is a summary of the changes since 4.5.2:
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
-----------------
- List new features (presumably why a checkpoint is being released)
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
-----
- Fixed: when using the mingw tool, if an msys2 Python is used (os.sep
is '/' rather than the Windows default '\'), certain Configure checks
could fail due to the construction of the path to run the compiled check.
- C scanner's dictifyCPPDEFINES routine did not understand the possible
combinations of CPPDEFINES - not aware of a "name=value" string either
embedded in a sequence, or by itself. The conditional C scanner thus
did not always properly apply the defines. The regular C scanner does
not use these, so was not affected. [fixes #4193]
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
-------------
- Aligned manpage signature for Alias function to match implementation -
if the previous *targets* parameter had been used as a keyword argument,
the results would be incorrect (does not apply to positional argument
usage, which had no problem).
DEVELOPMENT
-----------
- SCons test runner now uses pathlib to normalize and compare paths
to test files, which allows test lists, exclude lists, and tests on
the command line to "not care" about the OS convention for pathname
separators.
Thanks to the following contributors listed below for their contributions to this release.
