but it is not a stable release, as stated at

​http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/scons/scons/2.3.5/RELEASE.txt

   A new SCons checkpoint release, 2.3.5, is now available
   on the SCons download page:
...
   A SCons "checkpoint release" is intended to provide early access to
   new features so they can be tested in the field before being released
   for adoption by other software distributions.
...

   We *do not recommend* that downstream distributions (Debian, Fedora,
   etc.) package a checkpoint release, mainly to avoid confusing the
   "public" release numbering with the long checkpoint release names.

At

​http://www.scons.org/download.php

it is named "production":

The current production release of SCons is 2.3.5 [ChangeLog].
The last stable release prior to this one is 2.3.4.

There were no other opinions, that's why I took it.
