ANNOUNCE: SCons 0.97 has been released

SCons is a software construction tool (build tool, or make tool) written
in Python. It is based on the design which won the Software Carpentry
build tool competition in August 2000.

Version 0.97 of SCons has been released and is available for download
from the SCons web site:

http://www.scons.org/download.php

An RPM package and a Win32 installer are all available, in addition to
the traditional .tar.gz and .zip files. A Debian package is available
in Debian unstable.
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?

This release contains two fixes for problems discovered since 0.96.96
(the last testing version) was released.

There are a HUGE number of fixes and new features since the last "stable"
0.96.1 release. If you are updating from 0.96.1 or an earlier version,
BE SURE to read the release notes for important information about changes
which may trigger rebuilds, or otherwise impact your configuration:

ABOUT SCONS

Distinctive features of SCons include:

- a global view of all dependencies; no multiple passes to get
everything built properly
- configuration files are Python scripts, allowing the full use of a
real scripting language to solve difficult build problems
- a modular architecture allows the SCons Build Engine to be
embedded in other Python software
- the ability to scan files for implicit dependencies (#include files);
- improved parallel build (-j) support that provides consistent
build speedup regardless of source tree layout
- use of MD5 signatures to decide if a file has really changed; no
need to "touch" files to fool make that something is up-to-date
- extensible through user-defined Builder and Scanner objects
- build actions can be Python code, as well as external commands

An SCons users' mailing list is available for those interested in
getting started. You can subscribe by sending email to:

us*************@scons.tigris.org

Alternatively, we invite you to subscribe to the low-volume SCons
announcement mailing list to receive notification when new versions of
SCons become available. Send email to:
