6     libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
7    
8     * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
9 tdb 1.27
10 tdb 1.29 libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
11 tdb 1.27
12     * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
13     * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
14     * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
15     * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
16 ats 1.28 * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
17 tdb 1.27 on Solaris.
18     * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
19     ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
20 ats 1.28 * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
21 tdb 1.27 * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
22     don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
23     * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
24 tdb 1.26
25     libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
26    
27     * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
28     naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
29     programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
30    
31     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
32     #include <statgrab.h>
33    
34     * New process stats function added to provide full details
35     on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
36     for details.
37     * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
38     statistics. These can be used with qsort.
39     * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
40     associated functions.
41     * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
42     * Lots of code tidying.
43     * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
44     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
45 tdb 1.24
46     libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
47    
48     * Added network interface information:
49     speed, duplex, up/down.
50     * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
51     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
52     * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
53     * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
54     * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
55     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
56 tdb 1.25 (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
57 tdb 1.24 * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
58    
59     * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
60 tdb 1.23
61     libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
62    
63     * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
