What's new in 0.16.0

sccache 0.16.0 Summary sccache 0.16.0 is a smaller, stabilizing release on top of 0.15.0's multi-tier caching work, with a few new capabilities: - Read-only backends: Any storage backend can now be marked read-only, not just a select few (#2705). - Remote execution on aarch64: Distributed/remote execution now works on Linux aarch64, including fixes for ldd output parsing and toolchain packaging on non-x86_64 Linux (#2668). - CUDA: nvcc's --dependency-output argument is now handled (#2708). - Resilience: Fall back to a direct cache write when tempfile creation on the same filesystem fails (#2369), and give a meaningful error when a multi-level chain references a backend that wasn't compiled in (#2695). - Client efficiency: The client and dist-client now use a single-threaded tokio runtime, avoiding a thread explosion when many short-lived clients run on many-core hosts (#2704). - Correctness: Strip SCCACHE_BASEDIRS from escaped-backslash paths on Windows (#2736), ignore empty-set environment values in config (#2639), and avoid the sccache wrapper when resolving the real compiler (#2720). - Security/logging: JWT keys and cert digests are now base64-encoded in logs (#2712), plus general logging improvements (#2734). Welcome to 4 new contributors!
