gdistcc v0.9.x released!

After intensive development I’m pleased to announce gdistcc v0.9.x has just been released!

v0.9.x includes some major new features including:

• In addition to CentOS 7, gdistcc now supports Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and Debian 8.  Additional distros should only require proper entries in the new settings.json file and appropriate startup-script.
• Instance and distribution specific configuration have been moved to their own settings.json file making additions and customizations easy.
• ‘gdistcc {status, make}’ now checks if an instance has been terminated (Google’s preemptible instances) and exclude as appropriate, ‘gdistcc stop’ removes them as normal.
• Pump mode is NOT used to greatly reduce instance setup time as system headers are no longer required on the instances.  This also increases compatibility and makes better use of ccache's pre-processed header caching.
• gdistcc's github page now uses Travis CI (I might make a future post dedicated to this particular topic)
• gdistcc is now published on PYPI and can be easily installed with just ‘pip install gdistcc’
