32 - Override envirionments, created when giving construction environment
33 keyword arguments to Builder calls (or manually, through the
34 undocumented Override method), were modified not to "leak" on item deletion.
35 The item will now not be deleted from the base environment.
40 - PackageVariable now does what the documentation always said it does
41 if the variable is used on the command line with one of the enabling
42 string as the value: the variable's default value is produced (previously
43 it always produced True in this case).
48 - List improvements that wouldn't be visible to the user in the
49 documentation: performance improvements (describe the circumstances
50 under which they would be observed), or major code cleanups
55 - List changes in the way SCons is packaged and/or released
60 - List any significant changes to the documentation (not individual
61 typo fixes, even if they're mentioned in src/CHANGES.txt to give
62 the contributor credit)

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