I have been using the slots drop for a while with Parts. I think it is ready. 
It does have a notable improvement in speed and memory size. I would before 
getting this out as officially earlier than later.

  Hi guys,

  sorry for chiming in so late.

    Yes, that's how we've done it in the past.  Sounds like doing it at the 
same time as slots would be perfect.



  Doing this in parallel with the "slots" change sounds good to me too. +1


I'm not opposed to releasing in the same update as slots, but since the cross 
language code reviews haven't been finished, I don't want to delay slots since 
it is ready now.


The pessimist in me as sees doing two major enhancements in the same release as 
higher risk; I don't foresee any issues, but its worth the thought if the 
release overhead isn't too bad.

        Gary,

        For such a change we should bump the second digit?
        2.4?

        I agree we should not turn down a change because it will cause rebuilds 
where the past didn't as long as it is now more correct
        (which it should be with this change).


  Yes, "forward" is the way to go. ;)


        Also agree we should be verbose in our notification of the impacts of 
the new change to avoid (as much as we can) "surprises".



  I think (better: hope) we did a good enough job for the "slots" stuff on 
this. For the scanner changes, I see them more like a fix...so a single 
announcement should be sufficient?

  Finally, and just in case I haven't done so already, I'd like to thank 
William for all the work he's done on this issue. I couldn't help as much as I 
would've liked, but with Gary's support you tackled this down and brought it to 
a good end. Kudos to you...bravo!



Truly appreciated.  I have spent a lot of time on this issue despite what one 
might expect from the number of lines of code.

It was honestly my first time working in a "real" python environment outside of 
scripting, and the SCons code base is rather complex.  It instills me greater 
appreciation for the work that has already done.


I also want to thank everyone here for their help past and future, but don't 
pat me on the back until its done. I might get lazy :)


 

  Best regards,

  Dirk
