6 libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
7
8 * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
9 naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
10 programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
11
12 #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
13 #include <statgrab.h>
14
15 * New process stats function added to provide full details
16 on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
17 for details.
18 * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
19 statistics. These can be used with qsort.
20 * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
21 associated functions.
22 * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
23 * Lots of code tidying.
24 * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:

27 libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)

29 * Added network interface information:
30 speed, duplex, up/down.
31 * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
32 i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
33 * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
34 * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
35 * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
36 FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.

38 * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
39
40 * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
