  BUG FIXES:

   * Fix for incorrect handling of -x and -specs from Michal Welnicki.


  TESTS:

   * Fix false pass in tests for -x and -specs.


distcc-2.18.2  "Bees and lavender"  2004-11-12

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fix problem in checking errno after connect().  Fix by Jean
      Delvare and Dan Kegel.


  PORTABILITY:

    * Fix prototype problem causing build failure on amd64.  Patch
      from Andreas Jochens.  (Debian #280399, #280644).

distcc-2.18.1  "Reality-based computing"  2004-11-03

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fix run-time warnings about gtk_tree_model_row_changed() when
      built with recent versions of GTK+.

    * gcc option -specs= must be run locally so that it can read the
      local spec file.  Reported by Chris Yeoh.

 
  PORTABILITY:

    * Fix Solaris build problem reported by Dimitri Papadopoulos.

    * Fix problem with reading hosts files in DOS CRLF format.
      Reported by Sebastien Perochon.


distcc-2.18  "Billionaires on stilts"  2004-10-12

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fix longjmp() bug that can cause distcc to crash when a timeout
      elapses.

    * Fix compile-time problem with dcc_trace when configured with 
      --enable-rfc2553.  Reported by Greg Earle.

    * Fix warning about warn_unused_result for older versions of gcc.

    * No timeout on local preprocessing or on compilation.  No
      timeouts on DNS lookups other than whatever is built in to the
      DNS resolver.  There are timeouts on network transmission and on
      opening connections.

    * Remove mmap() for receive of uncompressed data, to avoid various
      problems.


  CHANGES:

    * The --allow option is now mandatory for daemon mode.  As a
      security feature, distccd will refuse to run without an IP 
      access control list.

    * conftest.* built by autoconf is always done locally, to make
      configure tests faster and safer.

  
  DOCUMENTATION:

    * Better description of use with ccache.

  
  PORTABILITY:
  
    * Fix various warnings reported by Dimitri Papadopoulos.

    * Fix Tru64 build problem reported by Gary V. Vaughan.


distcc-2.17  "Divers Alarums"  2004-07-31

  FEATURES:

    * Performance improvements for distccmon-gnome.

    * Added timeous for connection to servers, transmission of jobs
      and remote compilation.  If the timeout expires, the job is run
      locally.  This should make distcc cope better if some or all of
      the servers are unreachable or failing.

    * Also add timeouts in server to kick out stalled or disconnected
      clients.


  BUG FIXES:

    * If remote compilation fails because of a signal in a later phase
      of the compilation causing an exit with code >=128, retry
      compilation locally.  Patch from Jakub Stachowski.

  
  DOCUMENTATION:

    * Manpage fix from Jean Delvare.


  PORTABILITY:

    * Cygwin portability fix for WCOREDUMP, reported by Eric Frias.


distcc-2.16  "Salt"  2004-07-08

  SECURITY:

    * Fix bug that might cause IP-based access control rules not to be
      interpreted correctly on 64-bit platforms.  (CAN-2004-0601)


  BUG FIXES:

    * Fix small memory leaks in distccmon-gnome and distccmon-text.


  FEATURES:

    * Use a GNOME status bar with a grab handle for distccmon-gnome.
      Patch from Nathan Fredrickson.


  PORTABILITY:

    * Better detection of systems with a popt library installed but
      no popt.h.  Reported by Sean Kelly.

    * Fix bug in reporting crashed daemon children that showed up on
      systems without strsignal, such as Mac OS 10.2.  Reported by
      Benjamin Reed.

    * Update testdistcc.py to work on ia64 linux.


  INTERNAL:

    * Simplify dcc_log_child_exited.

    * Include copyright and licence in --version output, as suggested
      by GNU programs.


distcc-2.15  "feel good for ten seconds"  2004-07-06

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fix crash bug in receiving LZO compressed data into a mmapped
      file.  Reported by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz.  

    * Remove redundant temporary file cleanup in non-forking mode.


  FEATURES:

    * Client calculates and can display the overall throughput in
      preprocessed bytes per second for remote jobs.


  REMOVALS:

    * The deprecated fork-after-exec mode controlled by the
      --no-prefork option has been removed.

    * mmap is no longer used for compressed data to simplify the code.
  
  
  PORTABILITY:

    * Additional fixes to Red Hat / Fedora scripts, by Colins Walters.

 
  INTERNAL:

    * Daemon now chdirs to $TMPDIR at startup rather than /.  This
      allows dumping core, among other things.


distcc-2.14  "Lake Albina"  2004-05-02

  FEATURES:

    * The host file is looked up in $DISTCC_DIR/hosts, not hardcoded
      to ~/.distcc/hosts.  The default for $DISTCC_DIR is still
      ~/.distcc.  Suggested by Sebastien Perochon.

    * Source file name is included in success/failure messages, e.g. 

         distcc[6655] ERROR: compile ./cases/bad.c on cardhu failed

    * distcc can now be built with a build directory separate from the
      source directory.  Patch from Dennis Henriksen.


  DOCUMENTATION:

    * Add documentation of DISTCC_DIR, and other fixes.  Patch from
      Thomas Schwinge.

    * Slightly improved distcc --help.


  BUG FIXES:

    * Decompression buffer can dynamically resize to allow for very
      gassy files.  From a patch by Joe Buehler.


  PORTABILITY:

    * Add sample scripts for Red Hat / Fedora, by Colin Walters.

    * mmap is always disabled on HP-UX, because the inconsistent page
      case is a bit dangerous for the way distcc uses mmap.  Suggested
      by Joe Buehler.


distcc-2.13  "Carnal Bunt"  2004-03-02

  SECURITY:

    * Enforce IPv4 access control lists when the daemon is listening
      on an IPv6 port.  This only applies when the server was compiled
      using --enable-rfc2553 and run with --allow.


  FEATURES:

    * Hash comments are allowed in host list files.


  INTERNAL: 

    * Use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT on Linux to avoid some wasted context
      switching when a new connection comes in to the server.


  BUG FIXES:

    * Some fixes for connections over SSH when built using
      --enable-rfc2553.  Reported by Jeff Rizzo.

    * Handle arguments like "-xcpp" and "-Wa,-xarch=v8".  Suggested by
      Ben Scarlet.

    * Fix resource exhaustion when DISTCC_SAVE_TEMPS is set.  Reported
      by Mark DeGeorge.

    * Fix problems in running IPv6-enabled builds on kernels without
      IPv6 support.  Reported by Lisa Seelye.


  DOCUMENTATION:

    * More instructions for distributors/packagers.


  PORTABILITY:

    * Many portability patches from Albert Chin.  These patches were
      tested on: AIX 4.3.2, 5.1; HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11i; IRIX 6.5;
      Redhat Linux 7.1, 9; Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8, 9; Tru64 UNIX
      4.0D, 5.1.

    * Possibly fix mmap problem on HP-UX with compressed transfers.
      Reported by Joe Buehler.


  TESTING:

    * Add test for compilation with compression.

    * Testsuite portability patch from Albert Chin.  The tests pass
      on: HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11i; IRIX 6.5; Redhat Linux7.1, 9;
      Solaris 7, 8, 9; Tru64 UNIX 4.0d, 5.1.


distcc-2.12.1  "Shatner's Bassoon"  2004-01-09

  BUG FIXES:

    * When checking if a process exists, accept EPERM as indicating it
      exists but isn't ours.  This allows watching the directory of a
      different user, subject only to filesystem permissions.
      Reported by Ernst Bachmann.

    * Correct a bug introduced in 2.12 that made distccd fail to start
      when run by root because setgid failed.  Fix from Wayne Davison.

    * --without-gnome, --without-gtk now turn those options off rather
      than on.

  DOCUMENTATION:

    * New man page for distccmon-text, by Shri Shrikumar and Martin
      Pool.


distcc-2.12  "Figgy Pudding"  2003-12-19

  FEATURES:

    * New --log-level feature allows logging of only errors rather
      than messages for each connection.

    * IPv6 support now works better when distcc is configured with
      --enable-rfc2553.  The server can normally accept either IPv4 or
      IPv6 connections.

    * New --with-docdir configure option to set install location for
      documents.  The default is the same as previously.  Patch from
      Harold L Hunt II.


  INTERNAL:

    * GNU-style ChangeLog is now included in the package.  Please keep
      it up to date if you make your own changes!


  PORTABILITY:

    * setgroups() was broken by Mac OS X Panther so that it will not
      accept setgroups(0, NULL) to clear the group list.  Instead we
      now set the group list to our single primary gid.  Suggestion
      from Wayne Davison.

    * sendfile problems on FreeBSD 4.9-RC fixed.  Patch from Allan
      Saddi.

    * MAXPATHLEN is provided if it's not defined, which is the case on
      GNU Hurd.  Reported by Santiago Vila as Debian #219600. 


  BUG FIXES:

    * Check pkg-config information GNOME/GTK+ is now checked at
      configure time, not build time.  This is a bit quicker than
      running the script for every file we build, and means that
      PKG_CONFIG_PATH only needs to be set for configure.


  DOCUMENTATION:

    * Small documentation corrections.


distcc-2.11.2  "Muscovado"  2003-10-23

  BUG FIXES:

    * Correct the handling of --without-gnome.  Reported by Dimitri
      Papadopoulos.

    * Fatal signal handlers for client and daemon should reset the
      signal vector before doing anything else, to protect against an
      (unlikely) spin if the signal is re-sent.
      
    * Corrections to .desktop file from Dag Wieers.


  INTERNAL:

    * Remove dependency on libglade for GTK+ and GNOME monitor
      programs.


  PORTABILITY:  

    * IRIX portability fixes from Dimitri Papadopoulos.

    * Use AC_TYPE_SIGNAL to generate correct signal handler return
      types.  (It can be either int or void.)


  DOCUMENTATION:

    * Various manual updates.

    * Update to xinetd example from Dag Wieers.


distcc-2.11.1  "Burnt sugar"  2003-10-08

  FEATURES:

    * The graphical monitor can now be configured with either
      --with-gnome or --with-gtk.  In the second case, the GNOME
      libraries are not used.  In both cases the resulting program is
      called distccmon-gnome and the functional differences are fairly
      small.


  BUG FIXES:

    * An error message is emitted and compilation fails if distcc
      cannot use the specified TMPDIR.  This can happen if distccd is
      started by root with a TMPDIR only accessible to root.
      Reported by Brett Dikeman.

    * GNOME data files are now only installed when the application is
      configured with --with-gnome or --with-gtk.  Files are installed
      into a distcc/ subdirectory of the configured data directory.
      (By default this is /usr/local/share/distcc/).  Reported by Erik
      Jan Tromp and Noe`l Ko"the.

    * Fix bug in sending compressed files where errors were ignored.

    * C++ compilation using -frepo must be local.  Reported by Andrew
      Slater.
