v0.16.0

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).
