Here is a summary of the changes since 4.11.0:

FIXES

• Revert the change to the internal implementation of reading a saved-Variables file. This also undoes the minor API change made when the change was introduced in SCons 4.11.0: in that release is was possible to use a top-relative path in the Variables() call when giving the name of a file (that is, a path that begins with #). This is once again disallowed. The plan is to reintroduce this change in a future release, once the issues are fully resolved.

Thanks to the following contributors listed below for their contributions to this release.

4.11.0

A new SCons release, 4.11.0, is now available on the SCons download page:

https://scons.org/pages/download.html

Here is a summary of the changes since 4.10.1:

DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY

• Deprecated Python 3.7 & 3.8 support.
• Deprecated using signature-file-per-directory (aka old-style SConsign) via the SConsignFile(name=None) call.
• The legacy job scheduler, which was superseded by a new scheduler in SCons 4.7 but remained available as a fallback, is deprecated and will be removed in the next release. The --experimental feature flag to select the legacy scheduler is renamed to "legacy_sched_deprecated" to give a clear indication of the status change; the flag will also be removed in the next release.

NOTE: The 4.0.0 release of SCons dropped Python 2.7 support. Use 3.1.2 if Python 2.7 support is required (but note old SCons releases are unsupported).

RELEASE VERSION/DATE TO BE FILLED IN LATER

From boulea7: - Ignore semicolon-separated USE and INCLUDE statements in Fortran ! comments and character literals (issue #4454). Ambiguous column-six ! continuation markers remain unchanged. - Fix Windows UNC path lookup with either separator style, including FindFile() lookups and UNC working directories. Relative paths across Windows drives or UNC shares now fall back to the absolute target path. This resolves the UNC issues recorded in Mats Wichmann's notes below. - Preserve native path semantics for install and package locations: POSIX double-slash paths retain their directory components, while Windows UNC paths are relative to the share root. - Register matching LaTeX or PDFLaTeX source scanners only in environments that load a TeX tool, avoiding unexpected scanning and undefined LATEXSUFFIXES errors in other environments.

From Stuart Carnie: - ninja: support compiler variables with a launcher prefix, such as CC="ccache clang". Generating the ninja file failed with "Could not find tool $CC", because the tool was searched for as a single token.

From Thaddeus Crews: - ty: Initial support setup within pyproject.toml. - Removed Python 3.7 & 3.8 support. - Disambiguate Glob return type via @overload.

From William Deegan: - Add scons-ai.md, a condensed version of the manpage intended for consumption by AI tools, built into build/doc/MD. It retains every documented entry - options, tools, builders, functions, construction variables - with its description, but drops markup, cross-references, examples and version-history notes, which reduces it to roughly half the tokens of scons.1. Generated by the new bin/scons-man-to-ai.py from the checked-in DocBook sources, so it does not require the rest of the documentation toolchain; available as the "ai-manpage" target. - Unwrap two elements in the Decider() documentation which were nested inside a , which left empty paragraphs in the rendered
