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. |

|
69 |

* All function and structure names now follow a standardised |
70 |

#include <statgrab.h> |

for details. |

* Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io |
80 |

statistics. These can be used with qsort. |

+ |
associated functions. |
83 |
+ |
* Support added for NetBSD 2.0. |
84 |
+ |
* Lots of code tidying. |
85 |

100 |
+ |
|
101 |
+ |

162 |
|
* Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD |

* An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs |
166 |
|
to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab. |
167 |
|
* Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have |
168 |
