distcc-1.2 is released. Thanks to everybody who contributed patches.
I'm interested in hearing how the new scheduling mechanism works for
people with different hardware. Hopefully the new --allow option will
be useful too.

distcc-1.2 "lizard drinking" 2003-02-22
FEATURES:
* New scheduler makes a better attempt at keeping remote machines solidly
loaded by allowing only one request at a time to be in transit to remote
machines, therefore letting the actual compiler start sooner. Gives
about a 10% improvement in some circumstances. The new algorithm should
also be a better foundation for adding compression or server-side load
limiting.
* New --allow option for distccd allows IP-based access control in either
inetd or standalone daemon modes.
* Locking mechanism now distinguishes between daemons on different ports
of the same machine for the purposes of load balancing.
* Print timing and estimated rate on bulk data transfers.
* Open binary files in O_BINARY mode on Cygwin. May fix some corruption
problems on this platform. More investigation would be appreciated.
Based on a patch by Helind.
PORTABILITY:
* Use putenv() rather than setenv() to fit into SUSv2 and work on Solaris
8. Pointed out by Dimitri Papadopoulos.
* Add some functions from libiberty to aid portability.
