distcc-0.9  "samui desu ne?"  2002-09-03

  FEATURES:

    * Add new environment variable for client and server, DISTCC_TCP_CORK.
      Defaults to on, intended mostly for performance comparison or
      debugging.  (Martin Pool)

  PORTABILITY:

    * Properly support platforms with 32-bit pids, such as Cygwin.  (Aaron
      Lehmann, Martin Pool)

    * On FreeBSD, the sa_family_t type is defined in <sys/socket.h>  (Dennis
      Taylor)

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fix bugs related to leftover fifos in the temporary directory causing
      occasional server hangs.  (Martin Pool)

    * Stop the compiler from inheriting file descriptors connected to the
      network.  This was causing the client to hang if the server abnormally
      terminated while the compiler was reading from a fifo.  (Martin Pool)

    * Handle the case of sendfile() transmitting only part of the supplied
      data, similarly to a short write on a socket.  This doesn't often
      happen, but can occur if a ptrace debugger attaches while sendfile is
      running.  (Martin Pool)

    * When run with --daemon and not --no-fork, the parent does not detach
      until the pid file has been created.  This removes a slight race window
      that sometimes confused the test scripts.  (Martin Pool)

    * Message for completion of local cpp now gives the correct hostname.
      (Martin Pool)

    * Do not try to collect daemon children if --no-fork was specified.
      (Martin Pool)

    * Set SIGPIPE handler back to default before starting compiler tasks.
      (Martin Pool)

    * If a network error is detected while feeding input to the compiler, then
      it is terminated with a SIGHUP.  (Martin Pool)

    * If transmission to the server fails, close the socket sooner rather than
      later so as not to make the server process wait around unnecessarily.
      (Martin Pool)

    * Better handling of the case where the compiler command exits without
      reading its input.  (Martin Pool)

    * Make sure compilation children are always properly collected, even if
      transmission failed.  (Martin Pool)

  PERFORMANCE:

    * Write token/parameters using a single write() call.  May be very
      slightly more efficient in CPU and perhaps packets.  (Martin Pool)

  TESTS:

    * Display test names while they're running so that long tests are easier
      to follow.  (Martin Pool)

    * When cleaning up after running the dameon, make sure it's really dead
      before proceeding, so that tests don't trip over each other.  (Martin
      Pool)

    * New test of compilation of a largish (~4MB) C file to a ~5MB object
      file.  (Martin Pool)
