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)
81 +
82 + * Fixes to add support for Solaris 6.
83 + * Python bindings available in extras directory.
84 + * Some tidying up of code.
85 +

89 +   (the tools are still released under the GPL)
90 + * File descriptor leak fixed on Linux.
91 + * strlcpy/strlcat functions added for Solaris 7 to fix compile.
92 + * statgrab_init error behaviour fixed (primarly for Solaris 7).
93 + * Some incorrect #includes moved.
94 + * Significant speed increases to the Solaris disk mapping code in
95 +   statgrab_init, which improves startup time.
96 + * Minor fix for saidar's -d flag and negative numbers.
97 +
98 + libstatgrab 0.8 (06 January 2004)
99 +
100 + * Support for Linux 2.6.
101 + * Support for Cygwin.
102 + * Use cNtNdNsN names on Solaris instead of sdN.
103 + * Fixes and optimisations to saidar.
104 + * Fixes to the --disable-saidar and --disable-statgrab configure flags.
105 + * New function to drop elevated privileges some OS's require.
106 +   (after using the init function)
107 +
108 + libstatgrab 0.7 (22 October 2003)
109 +
110 + * Support for NetBSD 1.6.x.
111 + * FreeBSD code optimised.
112 + * Initialise function allows programs to drop extra privileges (on *BSD).
113 + * saidar now works even if it can't get all statistics.
114 + * List of known file systems increased on Linux and *BSD.
115 + * Minor bug fixes.
116 + * Tested (and working) on Solaris 9 x86, Linux 2.2 on alpha, and

128   libstatgrab 0.6 (09 October 2003)
129  
130   * saidar, a curses-based tool, has been added to give an overview of
# Line 12 | Line 139 | libstatgrab 0.5.1 (09 September 2003)
139   * Network stats wrap-around bug fixed on Linux and FreeBSD
140   * Linux now reads disk information from /proc/partitions if available.
141     This results in it getting data for all the disks.
142 < * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
142 > * An additional tool, statgrab, has been added to allow external programs
143     to easily parse statistics generated by libstatgrab.
144   * Scripts to generate MRTG (www.mrtg.org) configs with statgrab have
145     been added. This allows graphs to be generated from system stats.
