50 |
> |
|
51 |
> |
* All function and structure names now follow a standardised |
52 |

naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing |
53 |
> |
programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions: |
54 |
> |
|
55 |
> |
#define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED |
56 |
> |
#include <statgrab.h> |
57 |
> |
|
58 |
> |
* New process stats function added to provide full details |
59 |
> |
on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats |
60 |
> |
for details. |
61 |
> |
* Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io |
62 |
> |
statistics. These can be used with qsort. |
63 |
> |
* Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and |
64 |
> |
associated functions. |
65 |
> |
* Support added for NetBSD 2.0. |
66 |
> |
* Lots of code tidying. |
67 |
> |
* Python bindings now exist in a separate package: |

81 |
> |
* Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions. |
82 |
> |
|
83 |
