Full changelog:
RELEASE 1.3.0 - Tue, 23 Mar 2010 21:44:19 -0400
From Steven Knight:
- Update man page and documentation.
From William Deegan (plus minor patch from Gary Oberbrunner):
- Support Visual Studio 8.0 Express
RELEASE 1.2.0.d20100306 - Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:18:33 -0800
From Luca Falavigna:
- Fix typos in the man page.
From Gottfried Ganssauge:
- Support execution when SCons is installed via easy_install.
From Steven Knight:
- Make the messages for Configure checks of compilers consistent.
- Issue an error message if a BUILDERS entry is not a Builder
object or a callable wrapper.
From Rob Managan:
- Update tex builder to handle the case where a \input{foo}
command tries to work with a directory named foo instead of the
file foo.tex. The builder now ignores a directory and continues
searching to find the correct file. Thanks to Lennart Sauerbeck
for the test case and initial patch
Also allow the \include of files in subdirectories when variantDir
is used with duplicate=0. Previously latex would crash since
the directory in which the .aux file is written was not created.
Thanks to Stefan Hepp for finding this and part of the solution.
From James Teh:
- Patches to fix some issues using MS SDK V7.0
From William Deegan:
- Lots of testing and minor patches to handle mixed MS VC and SDK
installations, as well as having only the SDK installed.
RELEASE 1.2.0.d20100117 - Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:26:59 -0800
From Jim Randall:
- Fixed temp filename race condition on Windows with long cmd lines.
From David Cournapeau:
- Fixed tryRun when sconf directory is in a variant dir.
- Do not add -fPIC for ifort tool on non-posix platforms (darwin and
windows).
- Fix bug 2294 (spurious CheckCC failures).
- Fix scons bootstrap process on windows 64 (wrong wininst name)
From William Deegan:
- Final merge from vs_revamp branch to main
- Added definition and usage of HOST_OS, HOST_ARCH, TARGET_OS,
TARGET_ARCH, currently only defined/used by Visual Studio
Compilers. This will be rolled out to other platforms/tools
in the future.
- Add check for python >= 3.0.0 and exit gracefully.
For 1.3 python >= 1.5.2 and < 3.0.0 are supported
- Fix bug 1944 - Handle non-existent .i file in swig emitter, previously
it would crash with an IOError exception. Now it will try to make an
educated guess on the module name based on the filename.
From Lukas Erlinghagen:
- Have AddOption() remove variables from the list of
seen-but-unknown variables (which are reported later).
- An option name and aliases can now be specified as a tuple.
From Hartmut Goebel:
- Textfile builder.
From Jared Grubb:
- use "is/is not" in comparisons with None instead of "==" or "!=".
From Jim Hunziker:
- Avoid adding -gphobos to a command line multiple times
when initializing use of the DMD compiler.
From Jason Kenney:
- Sugguested HOST/TARGET OS/ARCH separation.
From Steven Knight:
- Fix the -n option when used with VariantDir(duplicate=1)
and the variant directory doesn't already exist.
- Fix scanning of Unicode files for both UTF-16 endian flavors.
- Fix a TypeError on #include of file names with Unicode characters.
- Fix an exception if a null command-line argument is passed in.
- Evaluate Requires() prerequisites before a Node's direct children
(sources and dependencies).
From Greg Noel:
- Remove redundant __metaclass__ initializations in Environment.py.
- Correct the documentation of text returned by sconf.Result().
- Document that filenames with '.' as the first character are
ignored by Glob() by default (matching UNIX glob semantics).
- Fix SWIG testing infrastructure to work on Mac OS X.
- Restructure a test that occasionally hung so that the test would
detect when it was stuck and fail instead.
- Substfile builder.
From Gary Oberbrunner:
- When reporting a target that SCons doesn't know how to make,
specify whether it's a File, Dir, etc.
From Ben Webb:
- Fix use of $SWIGOUTDIR when generating Python wrappers.
- Add $SWIGDIRECTORSUFFIX and $SWIGVERSION construction variables.
From Rob Managan:
- Add -recorder flag to Latex commands and updated internals to
use the output to find files TeX creates. This allows the MiKTeX
installations to find the created files
- Notify user of Latex errors that would get buried in the
Latex output
- Remove LATEXSUFFIXES from environments that don't initialize Tex.
- Add support for the glosaaries package for glossaries and acronyms
- Fix problem that pdftex, latex, and pdflatex tools by themselves did
not create the actions for bibtex, makeindex,... by creating them
and other environment settings in one routine called by all four
tex tools.
- Fix problem with filenames of sideeffects when the user changes
the name of the output file from the latex default
- Add scanning of files included in Latex by means of \lstinputlisting{}
Patch from Stefan Hepp.
- Change command line for epstopdf to use --outfile= instead of -o
since this works on all platforms.
Patch from Stefan Hepp.
- Change scanner to properly search for included file from the
directory of the main file instead of the file it is included from.
Also update the emitter to add the .aux file associated with
\include{filename} commands. This makes sure the required directories
if any are created for variantdir cases.
Half of the patch from Stefan Hepp.

SCons exception handling (especially BuildError exceptions).
- Have the --taskmastertrace= option print information about
individual Task methods, not just the Taskmaster control flow.
- Eliminate some spurious dependency cycles by being more aggressive
about pruning pending children from the Taskmaster walk.
- Suppress mistaken reports of a dependency cycle when a child
left on the pending list is a single Node in EXECUTED state.
From David Cournapeau:
- Fix $FORTRANMODDIRPREFIX for the ifort (Intel Fortran) tool.
From Brad Fitzpatrick:
- Don't pre-generate an exception message (which will likely be

CPPPATH, LIBPATH, etc.).

- Fix use of Glob() when a repository or source directory contains
an in-memory Node without a corresponding on-disk file or directory.

$CHANGED_TARGETS, $UNCHANGED_SOURCES and $UNCHANGED_TARGETS.

$SOURCE, $SOURCES, $TARGET and $TARGETS variable.
From Rob Managan:
- Scan for TeX files in the paths specified in the $TEXINPUTS
construction variable and the $TEXINPUTS environment variable.
