Add-ons will need to be re-tested and have their manifest updated. - NVDA's build system now fetches all Python dependencies with pip and stores them in a Python virtual environment. This is all done transparently. - To build NVDA, SCons should continue to be used in the usual way. E.g. executing scons.bat in the root of the repository. Running ``py -m SCons`` is no longer supported, and ``scons.py`` has also been removed. - To run NVDA from source, rather than executing ``source/nvda.pyw`` directly, the developer should now use ``runnvda.bat`` in the root of the repository. If you do try to execute ``source/nvda.pyw``, a message box will alert you this is no longer supported.
