[rsf-devel] madagascar-4.0

[Sergey F. <ser...@gm...>]

Dear developers,

The long anticipated stable release of Madagascar-4.0 is available for
testing at
https://github.com/ahay/src/tree/madagascar-4.0

In addition to numerous other extensions and improvements, the main changes
in this release:

1. By switching the SCons version to scons-4.4, we are fully switching to
python3 and phasing out support for python2.
2. Examples are provided for integrating Madagascar's SConstructs with
Python-based deep-learning frameworks.

To test installation:

git clone https://github.com/ahay/src.git
git checkout madagascar-4.0

1. set RSFROOT to a new location
2. Modify PATH and PYTHONPATH to remove the old instance of RSFROOT
3. Run ./configure; make install

Let us test the compilation on different platforms before this version gets
released.
