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.
10 +

69 + * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
70 +   speeds.

72 +
73 + libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
74 +
75 + * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.

91 +
92 + libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
93 +
94 + * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
95 +   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
96 +   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
97 +
98 +     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
99 +     #include <statgrab.h>
100 +
101 + * New process stats function added to provide full details
102 +   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
103 +   for details.
104 + * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
105 +   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
106 + * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
107 +   associated functions.
108 + * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
109 + * Lots of code tidying.
110 + * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
111 +     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
112 +
113 + libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
114 +
115 + * Added network interface information:

118 +     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
119 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
120 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
121 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
122 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
123 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
124 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
125 +
126 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
127 +
128 + libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
129 +
130 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
131 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.
132 + * Some tidying up of code.
133 +
134 + libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
135 +
136 + * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
137 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
138 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
139 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
140 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
141 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
142 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
143 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
144 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
145 +
146 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
147 +
148 + * Support for Linux 2.6.
149 + * Support for Cygwin.
150 + * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
151 + * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
152 + * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
153 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
154 +   (after using the init function)
155 +
156   libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
157  
158   * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.
# Line 32 | Line 187 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
187   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
188   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
189     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
190 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
190 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
191     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
192   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
193     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
