6 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
7 +
8 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
9 +
10 + libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
11 +
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 + * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
17 +   on Solaris.
18 + * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
19 +   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
20 + * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
21 + * 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 +
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 +
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 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
57 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
58 +
59 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
60 +
61 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
62 +
63 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
64 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.
65 + * Some tidying up of code.
66 +
67 + libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
68 +
69 + * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
70 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
71 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
72 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
73 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
74 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
75 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
76 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
77 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
78 +
79 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
80 +
81 + * Support for Linux 2.6.
82 + * Support for Cygwin.
83 + * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
84 + * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
85 + * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
86 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
87 +   (after using the init function)
88 +
89 + libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
90 +
91 + * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.
92 + * FreeBSD code optimised.
93 + * Initialise function allows programs to drop extra privileges (on *BSD).
94 + * saidar now works even if it can't get all statistics.
95 + * List of known file systems increased on Linux and *BSD.
96 + * Minor bug fixes.
97 + * Tested (and working) on Solaris 9 x86, Linux 2.2 on alpha, and

100 + libstatgrab 0.6.1 (18 October 2003)
101 +
102 + * Support for FreeBSD 5.1/sparc64.
103 + * Bugs fixed in FreeBSD memory statistics.
104 + * saidar displays disk percentages more "correctly".
105 + * Bug fixed displaying hostname in saidar.
106 + * statgrab now handles unusual /dev layouts more gracefully.
107 + * Minor packaging changes.
108 +
109 + libstatgrab 0.6 (09 October 2003)
110 +
111 + * saidar, a curses-based tool, has been added to give an overview of

118 + libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
119 +
120 + * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
121 + * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
122 +   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
123 + * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
124 +   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
125 + * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
126 +   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.

129 +
130 + * Fixed a bug with process stats on FreeBSD.

139 +
140 + * Fixed memory leak, and file descriptor leak on linux.
141 +
142 + libstatgrab 0.3.3 (22 March 2003)
143 +
144 + * Network statistics wraparound code was broken on interfaces that
145 +   transfered no data - typically second interfaces that weren't
146 +   connected.
147 +
148 + libstatgrab 0.3.2 (21 March 2003)
149 +
150 + * Network statistics wraparound fix.
