       compiler instead of stat-ing or hashing the compiler binary. This can
       improve robustness when the compiler (as seen by ccache) actually isn't
       the real compiler but another compiler wrapper.
+
     - Added support for compilations using precompiled headers. (See the manual
       for important instructions regarding this.)
+
     - Locking of the files containing statistics counters is now done using
       symlinks instead of POSIX locks. This should make ccache behave a lot
       better on file systems (e.g. NFS) where broken POSIX locks are slow or
       broken.
+
     - Locks are no longer taken when updating manifest files. (A race between
       two writing processes will only result in one lost entry, which is not a
       big deal, and it's also very unlikely.)
+
     - Updates of statistics counters are now always done in one of the
       sub-level statistics files. This reduces lock contention, which
       especially improves performance on slow NFS mounts.
+
     - Reading and writing of statistics counters is now forward-compatible
       (unknown counters are retained).
+
     - Files are now read without using mmap(). (This has two benefits: it's
       more robust against file changes during reading and it improves
       performance on poor systems where mmap() doesn't use the disk cache.)
+
     - Added `.cp` and `.CP` as known C++ suffixes.
+
     - Improved logging.
+
     - Added `-install_name` as an option known to take an argument. (This
       improves statistics when using the Darwin linker.)

     - Work on porting ccache to win32 (native), mostly done by Ramiro Polla.
       The port is not yet finished, but will hopefully be complete in some
       subsequent release.

     - Added a --nostats flag to the performance benchmark program.
+
     - Made the performance benchmark program more accurate when measuring cache
       hits.
+
     - Added a new test framework for unit tests written in C.

     - Got rid of configure-dev; dev mode is now given by dev.mk.in presence.

     - Improved documentation on how to combine ccache with other compiler
       wrappers (like distcc).
