[Erik A. H. <er...@he...>]

BProc 3.1.7 is out and in the usual spot:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=24453&release_id=75172

Release notes and change log follow:

3.1.7  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  BProc has been ported to the PowerPC.  It hasn't seen much testing
  since I don't have a lot in the way of PPC hardware but the first
  take is there and it seems to work fine.

  Another Linux patch is added to this release to fix a SMP problem in
  the process ID allocator.  This patch should be applied to the kernel
  in addition to the BProc patch.

  There's an important bug fix in the master daemon too.


Changes from 3.1.6 to 3.1.7

        * Added PowerPC support!!

        * Fixed a possible SIGHUP reconfiguration crash in bpmaster.

        * Fixed connection handling bug in bpmaster that caused slave
        connections to disfunction.

        * Added /proc/sys/bproc/proc_pid_map to control process ID mapping
        in /proc on the slave nodes.  2=map for all (default), 1=map for
        non-root only, 0=no mapping.

        * Added patch for Linux PID allocator bug.
