on the SCons download page:

      http://www.scons.org/download.php

Here is a summary of the changes since 2.0:

NEW FUNCTIONALITY

- SCons can now automatically embed manifests in Windows executables
  and DLLs, by setting WINDOWS_EMBED_MANIFEST in the environment.

- SCons now searches for site_scons dirs in several system-wide
  and per-user locations, in addition to the SConstruct top dir.
  This should enable much easier use of third-party (non-core)
  Tools.... [read more](/p/scons/news/2011/09/scons-210-production-release/)

SCons 1.3.1 Production Release

             SCons - a software construction tool

                        Release Notes

This is SCons, a tool for building software (and other files). SCons is
implemented in Python, and its "configuration files" are actually Python
scripts, allowing you to use the full power of a real scripting language
to solve build problems. You do not, however, need to know Python to
use SCons effectively.... read more

2.0.1.beta.20100627 released

A new SCons checkpoint release, 2.0.1.beta.20100627, is now available
on the SCons download page:

      http://www.scons.org/download.php

The primary purpose of this release is to remove support for Python
versions prior to 2.4 and streamline the SCons code base using more
modern python idioms.

IMPORTANT: In 1.3.0 and 2.0.0, explicit dependencies (configured via
the Depends() call) are ignored for any nodes that do not have builders.
This known issue[1] will typically only happen if you explicitly
configure a builder call to create multiple output files, some of which
are "hidden" from SCons by not being listed in the targets list, and then
use Depends() to establish an explicit dependency on a "hidden" file.... read more
