16     \begin{itemize}
17     \item This release features a complete rewrite of the build system,
18     the core SCRAM script and main packages.
19     All other version of SCRAM are obsolete and completely unsupported.
20    
21     %% \item Inappropriately-named variables removed from
22     %% \texttt{AutoToolSetup.pm} routines for parsing
23     %% \texttt{tools-CERN.conf} files. The variable \texttt{ANAPHEOS} replaced with
24     %% \texttt{ARCHITECTURE} and new variable \texttt{SCRAM\_BASEPATH}
25     %% introduced to replace the combination of \texttt{ANAPHETOP} and \texttt{ANAPHEVER}.
26     %% \item Hard-coded compiler flags for building modules removed from
27     %% \texttt{BuildFile.pm}, replaced with \texttt{MODULEFLAGS} to be
28     %% supplied in compiler tool descriptions.
29     %% \item Continous rebuilding of binaries when actually up-to-date fixed
30     %% by removing \texttt{bin\_target.dep} from generated binary makefiles.
31     %% \item Configuration version information that projects use for external
32     %% tools now stored in \texttt{Environment} file inside project
33     %% area. Later release will use this information to check for
34     %% compatibility between projects that depend on each other.
35     %% \item Bug fixes: fix to architecture determination on Solaris
36     %% platform. Also added improvements to architecture checks on very
37     %% recent versions of \texttt{Linux}.
38     %% \item Addition of clearer warning and error messages, especially for
39     %% \texttt{Cygwin} environment.
40     \end{itemize}
