3.3 - Charlie the unicorn
* Use masquerade as compiler white-list.
* New --allow-private (the default) which allows non-global
* IP and IPv6 addresses.
* Cross-compilation support.
* Fix parsing of IPv6 addresses.
* Python 3, not python 2.
* Can build without python (and without pump mode or tests).
For those upgrading: you must run update-distcc-symlinks on every server machine, and add manually (see MASQUERADING of distcc(1)) those compilers it does not detect.
FEATURES:
* IPv6 support
* Optional support for GSS-API authentication
* Added an environment variable DISTCC_SKIP_LOCAL_RETRY for skipping
the local retry in case of a remote compilation failure
* Some constants that were previously hard-coded in the
sources are now configurable via environment variables:
DISTCC_MAX_DISCREPANCY, DISTCC_IO_TIMEOUT
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed the following 20 issues <http://code.google.com/p/distcc/issues/list>:
30: 3.0 on OSX: ValueError: Expected absolute path, but got '(framework'.
33: distcc --scan-includes dumps core
34: Zeroconf fails if avahi supports IPv6
35: Include server internal error: '<class 'sre_constants.error'>: ('bogus escape (end of line)',)'
36: distcc-mon-gnome displays multiple rows for same host/slot
39: build with gcc 4.1 snprintf.h error "expected declaration specifiers"
42: distcc --show-hosts fails when using Avahi with IPv6 support and +zeroconf for distcc.
43: Remove duplicate hosts from zeroconf list
44: Failed tests on make check (gentoo gcc-4.3.3)
46: Add TAGS target to Makefile.in
49: make check fails on PreprocessAsm_Case
57: Fix warnings
58: PUMP mode can`t PARSE the HOSTS
60: CPlusPlus test case fails with GCC 4.4.1
61: Gdb tests fail in pumped mode on Ubuntu 9.10 amd64
66: pump mode fails to compile certain KDE-4 packages, finds/looks for incorrect headers
70: variable overlapping causing errors..
75: include_server documentation, distcc_fallback flag incorrect
81: distcc 3.1 will not compile correctly with current version of gcc
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.

* New options: --scan-includes, --disable-Werror
* Document all of the exit codes in the man page.
* Handle "-Wp,-MMD,...".
* Report a better error message if a host specification contains ",cpp"
but not ",lzo".
* Fix a bug where the "m4" directory wasn't included in the
source distribution tarball, which caused it to stop working
if you ran autogen.sh.
* Fixed a bug where the pump script was hard-coding /etc/distcc/hosts
rather than using the prefix specified to configure.
* Fixed build errors on Gentoo Linux and some other systems.
Changes 3.0:
* New "--without-avahi" option to configure.
* Fixed a problem where pump mode was falling back to local compilation
when compiling with -I options that refer to a subdirectory of one
of the default system include directories (Nils Klarlund, Fergus Henderson).
* Allow distcc to distribute commands that use "-MF<filename>"
rather than "-MF <filename>", and likewise for "-MT<target>".
* Fixed a build problem on ARM and Solaris systems.
* Fixed a build problem on some Linux systems.
* Fixed failure of "make install" on Cygwin.
* Fallback to local compilation for "-march=native" or "mtune=native"
* Fix for deadlock in pump mode.
* New protocol, version 3, allowing for preprocessing on distcc
servers ("pump" mode).
* New component: an include server for incremental static analysis of include
dependencies. This software is written in Python 2.4.
* Support for getting hosts via avahi.
* gcc debug option -d must be run locally because it produces secondary files.
* Improved checking for errors on socket connection.
