Unreleased

Fixed a cause of potential hangs when exiting the process ([#16]).
Fixed a subtle bug in remotecall(f, ::AbstractWorkerPool), previously the implementation would take a worker out of the pool and immediately put it back in without waiting for the returned Future. Now it will wait for the Future before putting the worker back in the pool ([#20]).
Fixed cases like addprocs([("machine 10.1.1.1:9000", 2)]) where the bind port is specified. Previously this would cause errors when the workers all tried to bind to the same port, now all additional workers will treat the bind port as a port hint ([#19]).
Fixed a bug in the network interface selection code that would cause it to error when only a subset of interfaces reported the negotiation speed ([#29]).

A watcher mechanism has been added to detect when both the Distributed stdlib and DistributedNext may be active and adding workers. This should help prevent incompatibilities from both libraries being used simultaneously ([#10]).
other_workers() and other_procs() were implemented and exported ([#18]).
The SSHManager now supports specifying a bind port hint in the machine specification ([#19], see the addprocs() docs).

Fixed behaviour of isempty(::RemoteChannel), which previously had the side-effect of taking an element from the channel ([#3]).
Improved thread-safety, such that it should be safe to start workers with multiple threads and send messages between them ([#4]).

Added a project argument to addprocs(::AbstractVector) to specify the project of a remote worker ([#2]).
Workers will now attempt to pick the fastest available interface to communicate over ([#9]).
The SSHManager now passes all JULIA_* environment variables by default to the workers, instead of only JULIA_WORKER_TIMEOUT ([#9]).
