+==============IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR NEXT VERSION V2.4.0===========
 
-RELEASE VERSION/DATE TO BE FILLED IN LATER
+PLEASE READ. CHANGES COMING IN NEXT MAJOR RELEASE V2.4.0
+As has been pre-announced in SCons's mailing lists:
+
+* https://pairlist4.pair.net/pipermail/scons-users/2014-July/002734.html ,
+* https://pairlist2.pair.net/pipermail/scons-dev/2014-December/002107.html

+
+We're planning to switch the Node class to using "slots" in the core sources,
+mainly to reduce memory consumption by up to 35% in large build projects.
+
+This feature has been tested extensively and we don't expect any problems for you.
+However as with all major changes it would be wise to test V2.4.0 when it is
+released. Especially if you are directly using the Node class.
