6 + PLANS: We're now working towards a 1.0 release which is where we plan
7 +       to stabilise the API. We'll be doing test releases before hand,
8 +       but as always we'll like to hear about any bugs found in the
9 +       current release.

93 +
94 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
95 +
96 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
97 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
98 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
99 +
100 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
101 +     #include <statgrab.h>
102 +
103 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
104 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
105 +   for details.
106 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
107 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
108 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
109 +   associated functions.
110 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
111 + * Lots of code tidying.
112 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
113 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
114 +
115 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
116 +
117 + * Added network interface information:

120 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
121 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
122 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
123 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
124 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
125 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
126 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
127 +
128 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
129 +
130 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
131 +
132 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
133 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.
134 + * Some tidying up of code.
135 +

139 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
140 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
141 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
142 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
143 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
144 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
145 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
146 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
147 +
148 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
149 +
150 + * Support for Linux 2.6.
151 + * Support for Cygwin.
152 + * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
153 + * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
154 + * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
155 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
156 +   (after using the init function)
157 +
158   libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
159  
160   * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.
# Line 32 | Line 189 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
189   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
190   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
191     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
192 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
192 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
193     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
194   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
195     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
