===========IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR NEXT VERSION V2.4.0===========

PLEASE READ. CHANGES COMING IN NEXT MAJOR RELEASE V2.4.0
As has been pre-announced in SCons's mailing lists:

* https://pairlist4.pair.net/pipermail/scons-users/2014-July/002734.html ,
* https://pairlist2.pair.net/pipermail/scons-dev/2014-December/002107.html
* https://pairlist4.pair.net/pipermail/scons-users/2015-February/003454.html

We're planning to switch the Node class to using "slots" in the core
sources,
mainly to reduce memory consumption by up to 35% in large build projects.

This feature has been tested extensively and we don't expect any problems
for you.
However as with all major changes it would be wise to test V2.4.0 when it is
released. Especially if you are directly using the Node class.
