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). |

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: |

+ |
|
46 |
+ |

+ |
|
48 |
+ |
* Added network interface information: |
49 |
+ |

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. |
