5 tdb 1.27
6     libstatgrab 0.10.1 (20 July 2004)
7    
8     * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
9     * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
10     * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
11     * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
12 ats 1.28 * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
13 tdb 1.27 on Solaris.
14     * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
15     ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
16 ats 1.28 * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
17 tdb 1.27 * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
18     don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
19     * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
20 tdb 1.26
21     libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
22    
23     * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
24     naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
25     programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
26    
27     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
28     #include <statgrab.h>
29    
30     * New process stats function added to provide full details
31     on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
32     for details.
33     * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
34     statistics. These can be used with qsort.
35     * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
36     associated functions.
37     * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
38     * Lots of code tidying.
39     * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
40     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
41 tdb 1.24
42     libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
43    
44     * Added network interface information:
45     speed, duplex, up/down.
46     * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
47     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
48     * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
49     * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
50     * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
51     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
52 tdb 1.25 (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
53 tdb 1.24 * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
54    
55     * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
56 tdb 1.23
57     libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
58    
59     * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
60     * Python bindings available in extras directory.
61     * Some tidying up of code.
62 tdb 1.21
63 tdb 1.20 libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
64    
65     * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
66     (the tools are still released under the GPL)
67     * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
68     * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
69     * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
70     * Some incorrect #includes moved.
71     * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
72     statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
73 tdb 1.22 * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
74 tdb 1.20
75 tdb 1.19 libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)

81     * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
82 tdb 1.18 * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
83     (after using the init function)
84 tdb 1.17

120     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
121     * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
