[bdbaddog]

A new SCons release, 4.10.1, is now available on the SCons download page:

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

Here is a summary of the changes since PREVIOUS_RELEASE:

NEW FUNCTIONALITY

• Add support for Visual Studio 2026.

CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY

• Switch test framework from using profile to cProfile. profile
  generates deprecation warnings starting with Python 3.15.

FIXES

• Enable membership tests on instances of Literal (non-substituting string).

• In the SequenceTypes tuple used for dynamic type checks, include
  the dict contents views, exclude the dictionary view itself as it
  is not an iterable sequence type.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Internal: where the find method on a string was used to determine
  if a substring is present, use the more readable "in" and "not in".

DOCUMENTATION

• Improve documentation of builder methods and builder objects.

• Make links clickable in the SetOption and GetOption manpage entries.
