[The previous mail contained changelog entries for ccache 3.6. Sorry
about that, I've rewritten my scripts for doing releases and this one
slipped through.]

ccache version 3.7 is now available.

Changes:

- Fixed crash when the debug mode is enabled and the output file is in a
  non-writable directory, e.g. when the output file is `/dev/null`.

- Fixed an issue when printing very large log messages to the debug log.

- Fixed bugs related to support for `-gsplit-dwarf`. Previously ccache could
  produce an incorrect link to the `.dwo` file in the `.o` file.

- Compilations with /dev/null as the input file are now cached.

- ccache has learned how to contruct the object filename if no `-o` option is
  given and the source filename does not include a `.` or ends with a `.`.

- Fixed a temporary file leak when the depend mode is enabled and the compiler
  produces standard error output.

- Fixed a bug in the depend mode where a manifest hash only could be associated
  with one set of header dependencies.

- Manifest files did not get marked as used on direct cache hits, so the LRU
  cache cleanup would incorrectly remove them eventually. This has been fixed.

- The rewriting of absolute paths into relative paths in the dependency file
  has been enabled in the depend mode as well.

- ccache now ignores unknown keys in configuration files for forward
  compatibility.

- Rearranged command-line options into sections in the help text.

- Documented the previously undocumented `--dump-manifest` and `--hash-file`
  options (only useful for debugging ccache itself).

- Added missing documentation for the command-line option `-k/--get-config`
  added in ccache 3.5.

- Renamed the `--print-config` command to `--show-config`.

- Added a new `--print-stats` command that prints statistics counters in
  machine-parsable (tab-separated) format.

- ccache no longer creates a missing output directory, thus mimicking the
  compiler behavior for `-o out/obj.o` when “out” doesn’t exist.

- `-fdebug-prefix-map=ARG`, `-ffile-prefix-map=ARG` and
  `-fmacro-prefix-map=ARG` are now included in the hash, but only the part
  before “ARG”. This fixes a bug where compiler feature detection of said flags
  would not work correctly with ccache.

- Bail out on too hard compiler option `-gtoggle`.

- Bail out on too hard Clang options `--analyze` and `-analyze`.

- Improved debug logging of file hashes in depend mode.

- Improved handling of various `-g*` options. In particular, ccache now
  understands that `-g0` cancels out previous `-g* options`.

- Worked around a problem with Automake related to `.d` files when using the
  hard link mode.

- Added opt-in (at configure time) support for enabling trace logs for
  profiling ccache itself. See `doc/DEVELOPER.md` in the code tree for more
  information

- Removed support for Fortran 77 again. Some Fortran support was added in
  ccache 3.3, but the implementation did not work when Fortran modules are
  involved.
