distcc 2.11.1 is out.  Thanks to everyone who sent feedback or
corrections.

There is no need to upgrade unless you're affected by one of the
problems listed below:


distcc-2.11.1  "Burnt sugar"  2003-10-08

  FEATURES:

    * The graphical monitor can now be configured with either
      --with-gnome or --with-gtk.  In the second case, the GNOME
      libraries are not used.  In both cases the resulting program is
      called distccmon-gnome and the functional differences are fairly
      small.


  BUG FIXES:

    * An error message is emitted and compilation fails if distcc
      cannot use the specified TMPDIR.  This can happen if distccd is
      started by root with a TMPDIR only accessible to root.
      Reported by Brett Dikeman.

    * GNOME data files are now only installed when the application is
      configured with --with-gnome or --with-gtk.  Files are installed
      into a distcc/ subdirectory of the configured data directory.
      (By default this is /usr/local/share/distcc/).  Reported by Erik
      Jan Tromp and Noe`l Ko"the.

    * Fix bug in sending compressed files where errors were ignored.

    * C++ compilation using -frepo must be local.  Reported by Andrew
      Slater.

  
  PORTABILITY:

    * Don't use stdint.h, which is not available on FreeBSD 4-STABLE,
      IRIX or Solaris.  Reported by Frerich Raabe.


  DOCUMENTATION:

    * Corrections to distcc manpage reported by Lionel Sausin.

    * Documentation of how to write monitor programs, from Frerich
      Raabe.


  INTERNAL:

    * Fix state.h for use with C++.  Patch from Frerich Raabe.
