6     libstatgrab 0.11 (09 November 2004)
7 tdb 1.34 * Add support for HP-UX 11.11.
8 tdb 1.33 * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
9     * Minor fixes to saidar.

11 ats 1.31
12 tdb 1.32 libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
13 ats 1.31
14 tdb 1.32 * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
15     by an integer.
16     * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
17     mebibytes or gibibytes.
18     * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
19     large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
20     * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
21     speeds.
22     * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
23 tdb 1.30
24     libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)

29 tdb 1.27
30     * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
31     * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
32     * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
33     * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
34 ats 1.28 * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
35 tdb 1.27 on Solaris.
36     * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
37     ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
38 ats 1.28 * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
39 tdb 1.27 * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they

43     libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
44    
45     * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
46     naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
47     programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
48    
49     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
50     #include <statgrab.h>
51    
52     * New process stats function added to provide full details
53     on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
54     for details.
55     * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
56     statistics. These can be used with qsort.
57     * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
58     associated functions.
59     * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
60     * Lots of code tidying.
61     * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
62     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
63 tdb 1.24
64     libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
65    
66     * Added network interface information:
67     speed, duplex, up/down.
68     * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
69     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
70     * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
71     * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
72     * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
73     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
74 tdb 1.25 (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
75 tdb 1.24 * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
76    
77     * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
