7 |
> |
|
8 |
> |
* All function and structure names now follow a standardised |
9 |
> |
naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing |
10 |
> |
programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions: |
11 |
> |
|
12 |
> |
#define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED |
13 |
> |
#include <statgrab.h> |
14 |
> |
|
15 |
> |
* New process stats function added to provide full details |
16 |
> |
on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats |
17 |
> |
for details. |
18 |
> |
* Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io |
19 |
> |
statistics. These can be used with qsort. |
20 |
> |
* Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and |
21 |
> |
associated functions. |
22 |
> |
* Support added for NetBSD 2.0. |
23 |
> |
* Lots of code tidying. |
24 |
> |
* Python bindings now exist in a separate package: |

34 |
> |
* Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0. |
35 |

> |
FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. |
37 |

(see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges) |
38 |
> |
* Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions. |
39 |
> |
|
40 |

* PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility. |
