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)

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)

120 > libstatgrab 0.6 (09 October 2003)
121 >

130 >
131 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
132 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
133 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
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.

156 >   transfered no data - typically second interfaces that weren't
157 >   connected.
