6     libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
7    
8     * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
9     naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
10     programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
11    
12     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
13     #include <statgrab.h>
14    
15     * New process stats function added to provide full details
16     on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
17     for details.
18     * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
19     statistics. These can be used with qsort.
20     * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
21     associated functions.
22     * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
23     * Lots of code tidying.
24     * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:

26 tdb 1.24
27     libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
28    
29     * Added network interface information:
30     speed, duplex, up/down.

33     * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
34     * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
35     * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
36     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
37 tdb 1.25 (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
38 tdb 1.24 * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
39    
40     * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
41 tdb 1.23
