Hi, It's been an unusually long time since the last ccache release. I've just upgraded to Ubuntu Utopic (beta) which ships gcc-4.9 with its nice coloring support, and ccache-3.1.9 which is unable to leverage this feature. Fedora 21 is about to ship these versions, too. Coloring support has been in ccache git for almost a year now. I've just simply compiled and installed it, overwriting Ubuntu's package, and it works like a charm for me. Distros are very likely to pick up new mainstream stable releases, but are very unlikely to start cherrypicking from their git branch. Could you please consider releasing a new stable ccache in the not too distant future, like maybe in a month or two? It would be really cool if the next release of distros (e.g. Ubuntu V V 15.04) shipped the coloring feature out of the box. Thanks a lot, egmont
