distcc-1.0 "consider the oyster" 2003-01-16 BUG FIXES: * Fix sendfile() bug on FreeBSD that could cause files to be mistransmitted. Perhaps not manifest on x86? Reported by Kris Kennaway. PACKAGING: * Distribute as .tar.bz2 rather than .tar.gz. (We pay by the byte.) DOCUMENTATION: * The recommended convention for gcc names is -gcc-, and GCC 3.3 will install itself under this name. (Alexandre Oliva, Claes Wallin) BENCHMARK: * New macro-benchmark and test suite for distcc. Invoke it with "make benchmark." It takes a long time to run and causes a lot of source code to be downloaded, but should be self-contained. This is the start of a script that runs distcc to build various open source programs, as an overall test of correctness, and to measure performance of a distcc installation. It relies on the user to install and configure distcc servers and clients, but handles the work of downloading, preparing, and building packages by itself. There are still some rough edges on the script, but it may be of interest. REMOVALS: * Remove Plucker file: nobody seems to be downloading it, and it's easy enough for people to build if they're interested. * Remove PDF and Postscript from documentation in tarball. They are still available from the web site or may be built from source.
