6 + libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
7 +
8 + * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
9 +   by an integer.
10 + * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
11 +   mebibytes or gibibytes.
12 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
13 +   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
14 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
15 +   speeds.
16 + * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
17 +
18 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
19 +
20 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
21 +
22 + libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
23 +
24 + * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
25 + * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
26 + * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
27 + * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
28 + * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
29 +   on Solaris.
30 + * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
31 +   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
32 + * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
33 + * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
34 +   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
35 + * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
36 +
37 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
38 +
39 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
40 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
41 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
42 +
43 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
44 +     #include <statgrab.h>
45 +
46 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
47 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
48 +   for details.
49 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
50 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
51 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
52 +   associated functions.
53 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
54 + * Lots of code tidying.
55 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
56 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
57 +
58 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
59 +
60 + * Added network interface information:
61 +     speed, duplex, up/down.
62 + * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
63 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
64 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
65 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
66 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
67 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
68 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
69 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
70 +
71 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
72 +
73 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
74 +
75 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
76 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.
77 + * Some tidying up of code.
78 +
79 + libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
80 +
81 + * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
82 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
83 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
84 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
85 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
86 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
87 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
88 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
89 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
90 +
91 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
92 +
93 + * Support for Linux 2.6.
94 + * Support for Cygwin.

96 + * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
97 + * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
98 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
99 +   (after using the init function)
100 +
101 + libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
102 +
103 + * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.

120 +
121 + libstatgrab 0.6 (09 October 2003)

131 +
132 + * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
133 + * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
134 +   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
135 + * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
136 +   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
137 + * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
138 +   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.

156 + * Network statistics wraparound code was broken on interfaces that
157 +   transfered no data - typically second interfaces that weren't
158 +   connected.
159 +
