Please note the following important changes since release 2.2.0:
+ -- SUPPORT FOR PYTHON VERSIONS BEFORE 2.7 IS NOW DEPRECATED
+
+ ***IMPORTANT***: This release is the last version of SCons to support
+ Python versions older than 2.7. This release will warn if you are
+ running on Python 2.6 or older; future releases will probably not
+ work at all, as we are moving toward supporting Python 3.
+ Use --warn=no-python-version to suppress the warning if needed.
+
-- A lot of python pre-2.4 compatibility code was removed
in this release. 2.4 is the official floor for SCons,
but this release will likely enforce it more rigidly.
