XXX - 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.
