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

92 * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).

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