6 libstatgrab 0.11 (09 November 2004)
7 * Support for HP-UX 11.11.
8 * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
9 * Minor fixes to saidar.
10 * Minor code tidies and fixes to libstatgrab.
11
12 libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
13
14 * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
15 by an integer.
16 * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
17 mebibytes or gibibytes.
18 * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
19 large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
20 * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
21 speeds.
22 * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
23
24 libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
25
26 * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
27
28 libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
29
30 * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
31 * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
32 * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
33 * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
34 * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
35 on Solaris.
36 * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
37 ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.
38 * Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice.
39 * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
40 don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
41 * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
42
43 libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
44
45 * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
46 naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
47 programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
48
49 #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
50 #include <statgrab.h>
51
52 * New process stats function added to provide full details
53 on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
54 for details.
55 * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
56 statistics. These can be used with qsort.
57 * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
58 associated functions.
59 * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
60 * Lots of code tidying.
61 * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
62 http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
63
64 libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
65
66 * Added network interface information:
67 speed, duplex, up/down.
68 * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
69 i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
70 * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
71 * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
72 * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
73 FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
74 (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
75 * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
76
77 * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
78
79 libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
80
81 * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
82 * Python bindings available in extras directory.
83 * Some tidying up of code.
84
85 libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)

89 * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
90 * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
91 * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
92 * Some incorrect #includes moved.

94 statgrab_init, which improves startup time.

142 to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
143 * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
