47 > libstatgrab 0.6 (09 October 2003)
48 >
49 > * saidar, a curses-based tool, has been added to give an overview of
50 >   the current system statistics.
51 > * Added support for FreeBSD 5.1.
52 > * Documentation is now available in manpages.
53 > * Fixed major bug in the FreeBSD diskio stats.
54 > * Added a .pc file for pkgconfig.

56 > libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
57 >
58 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
59 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
60 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
61 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
62 >   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
63 > * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
64 >   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
65 >
66 > libstatgrab 0.5 (25 August 2003)
67 >
68 > * Fixed a bug with process stats on FreeBSD.
69 > * Added documentation in 'docs' directory.
70 > * Added examples in 'examples' directory.

78 > * Fixed memory leak, and file descriptor leak on linux.
79 >
80 > libstatgrab 0.3.3 (22 March 2003)
81 >
82 > * Network statistics wraparound code was broken on interfaces that
