Distcc 3.2 release candidate 1

[Fergus Henderson]

Hi,

I have uploaded release candidate 1 of distcc 3.2 to distcc.org.

See <http://code.google.com/p/distcc/downloads/list>.

Please try it out and let us know what you think.

If it works, great -- let us know.

If it doesn't work for you, let us know that too, and please send patches!

News since distcc 3.1:

  FEATURES:

   * IPv6 support (adshea, Benjamin R. Haskell, Bob Ham).

   * Optional support for GSS-API authentication (Ian Baker at CERN)

   * Added an environment variable DISTCC_SKIP_LOCAL_RETRY for skipping

     the local retry in case of a remote compilation failure (Ryan Burns).

   * Some constants that were previously hard-coded in the

     sources are now configurable via environment variables:

     DISTCC_MAX_DISCREPANCY, DISTCC_IO_TIMEOUT (Lei Zhang).

  BUG FIXES:

   * Fixed the following 20 issues <http://code.google.com/p/distcc/issues/list>:

Thanks very much! I'm really glad you're still integrating things and
making releases.

Is this the same Craig Silverstein who was Google's first employee?
That's kind of cool.
