9 > * Fix saidar to support negative FS usage.
10 >
11 > libstatgrab 0.11 (09 November 2004)

13 >    (Patches provided by Roy Keene)
14 > * Minor fixes to statgrab mrtg tools.
15 > * Minor fixes to saidar.
16 > * Minor code cleanups and fixes to libstatgrab.
17 >
18 > libstatgrab 0.10.3 (24 August 2004)
19 >
20 > * Add -f flag to statgrab to display floating-point numbers multiplied
21 >   by an integer.
22 > * Add -K, -M and -G flags to statgrab to show byte counts in kibibytes,
23 >   mebibytes or gibibytes.
24 > * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config use the new flags to scale extremely
25 >   large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them.
26 > * Make statgrab-make-mrtg-config automatically detect network interface
27 >   speeds.
28 > * Add support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT.
29 >
30 > libstatgrab 0.10.2 (27 July 2004)
31 >
32 > * Fix shared library version that when backwards in 0.10.1.
33 >
34 > libstatgrab 0.10.1 (26 July 2004)
35 >
36 > * Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time.
37 > * Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5.
38 > * Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs).
39 > * Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0.
40 > * Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems
41 >   on Solaris.
42 > * Add more variables to the pkg-config file to suggest suitable
43 >   ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab.

45 > * Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they
46 >   don't have IO stats (like the loopback interface on Solaris).
47 > * Add error reporting function that grabs errno.
48 >
49 > libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004)
50 >
51 > * All function and structure names now follow a standardised
52 >   naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing
53 >   programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions:
54 >
55 >     #define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED
56 >     #include <statgrab.h>
57 >
58 > * New process stats function added to provide full details
59 >   on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats
60 >   for details.
61 > * Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io
62 >   statistics. These can be used with qsort.
63 > * Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and
64 >   associated functions.
65 > * Support added for NetBSD 2.0.
66 > * Lots of code tidying.
67 > * Python bindings now exist in a separate package:
68 >     http://www.i-scream.org/pystatgrab/
69 >
70 > libstatgrab 0.9 (10 March 2004)
71 >
72 > * Added network interface information:
73 >     speed, duplex, up/down.
74 > * Added more statistics on network interfaces:
75 >     i/o packets, i/o errors, and collisions.
76 > * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
77 > * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
78 > * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
79 >     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
80 >     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
81 > * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
82 >
83 > * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
84 >
85 > libstatgrab 0.8.2 (11 February 2004)
86 >
87 > * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
88 > * Python bindings available in extras directory.
89 > * Some tidying up of code.
90 >
91 > libstatgrab 0.8.1 (21 January 2004)

95 > * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
96 > * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
97 > * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).

143 >
144 > * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
145 > * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
146 >   This results in it getting data for all the disks.
147 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
148 >   to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
149 > * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
150 >   been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.

169 >   transfered no data - typically second interfaces that weren't
170 >   connected.
