138 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
139 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
140 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
141 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
142 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
143 +
144 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.

# Line 12 | Line 205 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
205   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
206   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
207     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
208 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
208 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
209     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
210   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
211     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
