[distcc] distcc 2.13 released

[Martin Pool]

distcc 2.13 is out.

This fixes a possible security problem with access control and IPv6,
so I recommend that you upgrade.

Thankyou to everyone who sent patches or reports.


distcc-2.13  "Carnal Bunt"  2004-03-02

  SECURITY:

    * Enforce IPv4 access control lists when the daemon is listening
      on an IPv6 port.  This only applies when the server was compiled
      using --enable-rfc2553 and run with --allow.


  FEATURES:

    * Hash comments are allowed in host list files.


  INTERNAL: 

    * Use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT on Linux to avoid some wasted context
      switching when a new connection comes in to the server.


  BUG FIXES:

    * Some fixes for connections over SSH when built using
      --enable-rfc2553.  Reported by Jeff Rizzo.

    * Handle arguments like "-xcpp" and "-Wa,-xarch=v8".  Suggested by
      Ben Scarlet.

    * Fix resource exhaustion when DISTCC_SAVE_TEMPS is set.  Reported
      by Mark DeGeorge.

    * Fix problems in running IPv6-enabled builds on kernels without
      IPv6 support.  Reported by Lisa Seelye.


  DOCUMENTATION:

    * More instructions for distributors/packagers.


  PORTABILITY:

    * Many portability patches from Albert Chin.  These patches were
      tested on: AIX 4.3.2, 5.1; HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11i; IRIX 6.5;
      Redhat Linux 7.1, 9; Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8, 9; Tru64 UNIX
      4.0D, 5.1.

    * Possibly fix mmap problem on HP-UX with compressed transfers.
      Reported by Joe Buehler.


  TESTING:

    * Add test for compilation with compression.

    * Testsuite portability patch from Albert Chin.  The tests pass
      on: HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11i; IRIX 6.5; Redhat Linux7.1, 9;
      Solaris 7, 8, 9; Tru64 UNIX 4.0d, 5.1.
