If you are reading this in the git repository, the contents
refer to *unreleased* changes since the last SCons release.
Past official release announcements appear at:

    https://scons.org/tag/releases.html

==================================================================

A new SCons release, X.Y.Z, is now available on the SCons download page:

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

Here is a summary of the changes since 4.9.1:


NEW FUNCTIONALITY
-----------------

- List new features (presumably why a checkpoint is being released)

DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
------------------------

- List anything that's been deprecated since the last release

CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
---------------------------------------

- List modifications to existing features, where the previous behavior
  wouldn't actually be considered a bug

- Nodes are now treated as PathLike objects.

- Replace use of old conditional expression idioms with the official
  one from PEP 308 introduced in Python 2.5 (2006). The idiom being
  replaced (using and/or) is regarded as error prone.

FIXES
-----

- Fixed SCons.Variables.PackageVariable to correctly test the default
  setting against both enable & disable strings. (Fixes #4702)

IMPROVEMENTS
------------

- List improvements that wouldn't be visible to the user in the
  documentation:  performance improvements (describe the circumstances
  under which they would be observed), or major code cleanups

PACKAGING
---------

- List changes in the way SCons is packaged and/or released

DOCUMENTATION
-------------

- List any significant changes to the documentation (not individual
  typo fixes, even if they're mentioned in src/CHANGES.txt to give
  the contributor credit)

- Clarify how pre/post actions on an alias work.

- Improve the description of PackageVariable.

DEVELOPMENT
-----------

- List visible changes in the way SCons is developed

- runtest.py once again finds "external" tests, such as the tests for
  tools in scons-contrib. An earlier rework had broken this.  Fixes #4699.

- Clean up C and C++ FLAGS tests. Tests which use a real compiler
  are now more clearly distinguished (-live.py suffix and docstring).
- Fix a couple of unit tests to not fail with Python 3.14. These involve
  expectations for bytecode and error message contents; there was no problem
  with SCons itself using 3.14 in its current (just-before-freeze) state.

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