 | 8 |  |  | * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 9 |  |  | (the tools are still released under the GPL) | 
 
 
 
 
 | 10 |  |  | * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 11 |  |  | * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 12 |  |  | * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7). | 
 
 
 
 
 | 13 |  |  | * Some incorrect #includes moved. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 14 |  |  | * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in | 
 
 
 
 
 | 15 |  |  | statgrab_init, which improves startup time. | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 16 | tdb | 1.22 | * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers. |

 | 20 |  |  | * Support for Linux 2.6. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 21 |  |  | * Support for Cygwin. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 22 |  |  | * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 23 |  |  | * Fixes and optimisations to saidar. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 24 |  |  | * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags. | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 25 | tdb | 1.18 | * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 26 |  |  | (after using the init function) | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 27 | tdb | 1.17 |  | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 28 | tdb | 1.16 | libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003) |

 | 30 |  |  | * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 31 |  |  | * FreeBSD code optimised. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 32 |  |  | * Initialise function allows programs to drop extra privileges (on *BSD). | 
 
 
 
 
 | 33 |  |  | * saidar now works even if it can't get all statistics. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 34 |  |  | * List of known file systems increased on Linux and *BSD. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 35 |  |  | * Minor bug fixes. | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 36 | tdb | 1.16 | * Tested (and working) on Solaris 9 x86, Linux 2.2 on alpha, and | 
 
 
 
 
 | 37 |  |  | Linux 2.4 on amd64. |

 | 41 |  |  | * Support for FreeBSD 5.1/sparc64. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 42 |  |  | * Bugs fixed in FreeBSD memory statistics. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 43 |  |  | * saidar displays disk percentages more "correctly". |

 | 49 |  |  |  | 
 
 
 
 
 | 50 |  |  | * saidar, a curses-based tool, has been added to give an overview of | 
 
 
 
 
 | 51 |  |  | the current system statistics. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 52 |  |  | * Added support for FreeBSD 5.1. |

 | 59 |  |  | * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD | 
 
 
 
 
 | 60 |  |  | * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 61 |  |  | This results in it getting data for all the disks. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 62 |  |  | * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs | 
 
 
 
 
 | 63 |  |  | to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 64 |  |  | * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have | 
 
 
 
 
 | 65 |  |  | been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats. |
