6 libstatgrab 0.10.3 (23 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
17 libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
18
19 * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
20
21 libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
22
23 * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
24 * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
25 * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
26 * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
27 * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
28 on Solaris.
29 * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
30 ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
31 * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
32 * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
33 don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
34 * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
35
36 libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
37
38 * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
39 naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
40 programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
41
42 #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
43 #include <statgrab.h>
44
45 * New process stats function added to provide full details
46 on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
47 for details.
48 * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
49 statistics. These can be used with qsort.
50 * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
51 associated functions.
52 * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
53 * Lots of code tidying.
54 * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
55 http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
56
57 libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
58
59 * Added network interface information:
60 speed, duplex, up/down.
61 * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
62 i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
63 * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
64 * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
65 * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
66 FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
67 (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
68 * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
69
70 * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
71
72 libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
73
74 * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
75 * Python bindings available in extras directory.
76 * Some tidying up of code.
77
78 libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)
79
80 * The library part of libstatgrab is now released under the LGPL.
81 (the tools are still released under the GPL)
82 * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
83 * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
84 * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
85 * Some incorrect #includes moved.
86 * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
87 statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
88 * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
89
90 libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
91
92 * Support for Linux 2.6.
93 * Support for Cygwin.
94 * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
95 * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
96 * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
97 * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
98 (after using the init function)
99
100 libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
101
102 * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.
103 * FreeBSD code optimised.
104 * Initialise function allows programs to drop extra privileges (on *BSD).
105 * saidar now works even if it can't get all statistics.
106 * List of known file systems increased on Linux and *BSD.

110
111 libstatgrab 0.6.1 (18 October 2003)
112
113 * Support for FreeBSD 5.1/sparc64.
114 * Bugs fixed in FreeBSD memory statistics.
115 * saidar displays disk percentages more "correctly".

134 * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
135 to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
136 * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
137 been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
