51 >   the current system statistics.
52 > * Added support for FreeBSD 5.1.
53 > * Documentation is now available in manpages.

57 > libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
58 >
59 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
60 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
61 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
62 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
63 >   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
64 > * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
65 >   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
66 >

70 > * Added documentation in 'docs' directory.
